* 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.
** It is expected that delivery of the Senior Secured Phase-In-Recovery Bonds (the “Bonds”) will be made to investors on or about August 1, 2013 (such settlement being referred to as “T+7”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days (such settlement referred to as “T+3”), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Bonds on the date of pricing or on the next business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bonds initially will settle at T+7, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Bonds who wish to trade the Bonds on the date of pricing or the next business day should consult their own advisors.
***Interest on the Bonds will accrue from August 1, 2013 and must be paid by the purchaser if the Bonds are delivered after that date.
