* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and may be subject to change or withdrawal at any time.

 

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about May 28, 2015, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as “T+5”). Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 notes earlier than the third business day prior to the date of settlement will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternate

 

settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes earlier than the third business day prior to the date of settlement should consult their own advisor.
