*Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold these securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. Each of the security ratings above should be evaluated independently of any other security rating.
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the expected settlement date specified above, which is five business days following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, investors who wish to trade their Notes on the date of pricing or the next three succeeding business days will be required, by
virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Investors of Notes who wish to trade their Notes on the date of pricing or the next three succeeding business days should consult their own advisor.
