Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned in the Issuer’s Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, dated October 31, 2019.
*Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn at any time.
** We expect that delivery of the Series C Preference Shares will be made against payment therefor on or about the settlement date specified in this communication, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Series C Preference Shares (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule15c6-1 of the U.S. Exchange Act, 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 Series C Preference Shares prior to the second business day preceding the date of delivery of the Series C Preference Shares will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Series C Preference Shares initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Series C Preference Shares who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisor.
All information (including financial information) presented in the Preliminary Prospectus is deemed to have changed to the extent affected by the changes described herein.
This communication is intended for the sole use of the person to whom it is provided by us. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell the Series C Preference Shares and is not soliciting an offer to buy the Series C Preference Shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
