** Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade bonds prior to the date that is three business days before the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the bonds initially will settle T+7 (on August 17, 2017) to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of bonds who wish to trade bonds prior to the date that is three business days before the settlement date should consult their own advisors.
