Trade Date: | February 1, 2021 | |
Settlement Date (T+3): | February 4, 2021. It is expected that delivery of each series of Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about February 4, 2021, which is the third business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery thereof will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors. |
