** | It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made on or about June 5, 2024, which will be the second business day (T+2) following the date hereof. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day (T+1), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes more than one business days prior to the scheduled settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will initially settle in T+2, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes more than one business day prior to the scheduled settlement date should consult their own advisors. |
