* It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about May 10, 2021, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the Notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing of the Notes should specify an extended settlement cycle at the time they enter into any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
** A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization.
