We expect that delivery of the Senior Secured Investment Recovery Bonds (the “Bonds”) will be made to investors on or about September 22, 2011 (such settlement being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days (such settlement referred to as “T+3”), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Bonds on the date of pricing or on the next business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bonds initially will settle at T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Bonds who wish to trade the Bonds on the date of pricing or the next business day should consult their advisors.
Interest Payment Dates: June 1 and December 1 of each year, and on the final maturity date, commencing on June 1, 2012.
