Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the first business day preceding the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to the first business day preceding the settlement date should consult their own advisors. |
