The Company has filed a “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-228721) (including the base prospectus) on December 7, 2018 and a related preliminary prospectus supplement on August 12, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, any related applicable preliminary prospectus supplement and any other documents that the Company has filed with the SEC for more information about the Company and the offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus and the related preliminary prospectus supplement if you request it by calling Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC toll-free at 1-866-718-1649 or UBS Securities LLC toll-free at 1-888-827-7275.
*We expect that delivery of the Depositary Shares will be made against payment therefor on or about August 19, 2019, which will be the fifth business day following the date hereof (such settlement being referred to as “T+5” ). Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the delivery of the Depositary Shares hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Depositary Shares initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Depositary Shares who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.
(1) Neither the Depositary Shares nor the Preferred Stock is a savings account, deposit or other obligation of any of the Company’s bank or non-bank subsidiaries, and neither is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, or instrumentality.
(2) A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
