Listing: | Admission to the United Kingdom Listing Authority’s Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc’s Main Market may be completed following settlement on a reasonable efforts basis. |
Settlement: | We expect that delivery of the Bonds will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date of this offering specified on the cover page of the prospectus supplement, which is five business days following the date of pricing of the Bonds (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, 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 their Bonds on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bonds 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 of Bonds who wish to trade their Bonds on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day should consult their own advisor. |
