Risk Factors
An investment in the notes entails certain risks. See “Risk Factors” in the Series I MTN prospectus supplement.
United States Federal Income Tax Treatment
Because the issue price of the notes is less than the stated redemption price at maturity by more than a statutorily defined “de minimis” amount, the notes will be treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”). For a discussion of the tax consequences of owning securities issued with OID, see “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Debt Securities—Original Issue Discount” in the Prospectus dated May 30, 2006.
