Changes to Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
Pages S-16 to S-17 of the preliminary prospectus supplement shall be amended by replacing the disclosure under the heading “MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES — Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” with the following:
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on payments of interest on notes made to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (in each case, as defined in the Code), regardless of whether such foreign institution or entity is a beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless:
(1) in the case of a foreign financial institution, the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations;
(2) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner and satisfies certain other requirements; or
(3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules.
If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements described in clause (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other matters, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “United States persons” or “United States owned foreign entities” (in each case, as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
IV-4
If an interest payment is subject both to withholding under FATCA and to the withholding tax discussed above under “—Non-United States Holders—Interest,” the withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences and application of the rules under FATCA.
