* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
** 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 two 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 two business days before the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the bonds initially will settle T+7 (on March 28, 2018) 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 two business days before the settlement date should consult their own advisors.
