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.

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on February 20, 2013, which will be the fifth business day following the trade date (such settlement being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange

 

1


Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes more than three business days prior to February 20, 2013 will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes during such period should consult their advisors.
