The issuer expects that delivery of the notes will be made against payment thereof on or about the settlement date specified in this communication, which will be the fifth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing should consult their own advisor.
