No UK PRIIPs KID – no UK PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been prepared as the Notes are not available to retail in the United Kingdom.
UK MiFIR professionals / ECPs-only – the UK manufacturer’s target market (UK MiFIR product governance) is eligible counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels).
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about November 25, 2024 (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6–1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to one Business Day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will initially settle in three Business Days (T+3), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.
