* | We expect that the notes will be delivered to investors in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company on or about September 27, 2022, which will be the third business day following the date of |
pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle is being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors. |
