1 | A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. |
It is expected that delivery of the securities will be made against payment on or about October 24, 2023, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the securities (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). 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 securities on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securities 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 who wish to trade the securities on any date prior to two business days before delivery should consult their own advisors.
