The information herein supplements the Preliminary Prospectus and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Prospectus to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Preliminary Prospectus.
It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment on the notes on or about October 28, 2019, which will be five business days (as such term is used for purposes of Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended) following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle is referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or after such date but before settlement occurs, may be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will settle in T+5 to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.
