* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
** Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the business day immediately before the Settlement Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+10, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
