It is expected that delivery of the 2027 Notes will be made for value on or about November 24, 2021, which will be the fifth (5th) business day in the United States following the date of pricing of the 2027 Notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, purchases or sales of 2027 Notes in the secondary market generally are required to settle within two (2) business days (T+2), unless the parties to any such transaction expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the 2027 Notes who wish to trade the 2027 Notes on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next two (2) succeeding business days, will be required, because the 2027 Notes initially will settle within five (5) business days (T+5) in the United States, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the 2027 Notes who wish to trade on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next two (2) succeeding business days should consult their own legal advisers.
