* Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the delivery date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+2, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
No EEA or UK PRIIPs KID – No EEA or UK PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been prepared as the notes are not available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK.
