* We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 10, 2017, which is the third business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, 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 more than two business days prior to the scheduled settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to their date of delivery should consult their own advisors.
