Preferred Stock and those that could affect us and our business. You should not purchase shares of our depositary shares unless you understand these investment risks. Please be aware that other risks may prove to be important in the future. New
risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. Before purchasing any depositary shares, you should consider carefully the risks and other information in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and carefully read the risks described in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the discussion under the &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; section in our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarterly period ended
March&nbsp;31, 2020, as such discussion may be amended or updated in other reports filed by us with the SEC. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>You are making an
investment decision about both the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described in this prospectus supplement, we are
issuing depositary shares representing fractional interests in shares of Preferred Stock. The depositary will rely solely on the payments it receives on the Preferred Stock to fund all payments on the depositary shares. You should carefully review
the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus regarding both of these securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Preferred
Stock will be an equity security and will be subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness, and our ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock may be limited by regulatory policies and requirements. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of Preferred Stock will be equity interests in Capital One and will not constitute indebtedness. This means that the depositary
shares, which represent fractional interests in the shares of Preferred Stock, will rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-equity</FONT> claims on Capital One with respect to assets
available to satisfy claims on Capital One, including claims in the event of our liquidation. As of June&nbsp;30, 2020, Capital One&#146;s total liabilities, including deposits, securitized debt obligations and other debt, were approximately
$365.3&nbsp;billion and we may incur additional indebtedness in the future. Capital One&#146;s existing and future indebtedness may restrict payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest customarily are payable on specified due dates, in the case of preferred stock
like the Preferred Stock, (1)&nbsp;dividends will be payable only if declared by our Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, (2)&nbsp;dividends will not accumulate if they are not declared and (3)&nbsp;as a
Delaware corporation, we may make dividend payments and redemption payments only out of funds legally available under Delaware law. Also, as a bank holding company, our ability to declare and pay dividends and redeem the Preferred Stock is subject

depositary will be the sole holder of shares of the Preferred Stock. The holders of depositary shares will be required to exercise their proportional rights in the Preferred Stock through the depositary, as described in the section entitled

if any), with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. See &#147;&#151;Other Preferred Stock&#148; below. In addition, we will generally be able to pay dividends and distributions
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up only out of lawfully available assets for such payment (after satisfaction of all claims for indebtedness and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-equity</FONT> claims). Further, the Preferred Stock
may be fully subordinated to interests held by the U.S. government in the event that we enter into a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceeding, including a proceeding under the Orderly Liquidation Authority of the Dodd-Frank Act.

of holders of the Preferred Stock or the depositary shares, issue additional shares of preferred stock that rank equally with or junior to the Preferred Stock. </P>

representing proportional fractional interests in shares of the Preferred Stock. Each depositary share represents a 1/40th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, and will be evidenced by depositary receipts. We will deposit the underlying
shares of the Preferred Stock with a depositary pursuant to a deposit agreement among us, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., acting as depositary, Computershare Inc. and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts evidencing the
depositary shares (the &#147;Deposit Agreement&#148;). Subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, through the depositary, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of Preferred Stock

distribute any property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled to those distributions, unless it determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionally among those holders or that it is not feasible to make a
distribution. In that event, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of the depositary shares. </P>

Transfers of beneficial interests in the global depositary receipts will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants, including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream, which may

directly or indirectly, which we collectively call indirect participants. Persons that are not participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the participants or the indirect participants. The ownership
interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the participants and the indirect participants. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the
SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has also advised us that, upon the issuance of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares, it will credit, on its
book-entry registration and transfer system, the depositary shares evidenced thereby to the designated accounts of participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global depositary receipts will be limited to participants or persons that may
hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global depositary receipts will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests may be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with

of those securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability of holders to transfer beneficial interests in depositary receipts to certain purchasers. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the participants, which in turn act on behalf
of the indirect participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a global depositary receipt to pledge such interests to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests,
may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as DTC or any successor depositary for a
depositary receipt, or any nominee, is the registered holder of such depositary receipt, DTC or such successor depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the depositary shares represented by such depositary receipts for all

receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of depositary shares or depositary receipts in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof for any purpose under the Deposit Agreement. Accordingly, each person owning
a beneficial interest in a depositary receipt must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the
Deposit Agreement. We understand that, under existing industry practices, in the event that we request any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in the depositary receipts desires to give any consent or take any action under
the Deposit Agreement, DTC or any successor depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action or consent, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such
participants to give or take such action or consent or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P>

in the name of or held by DTC or any successor depositary or nominee will be payable to DTC or such successor depositary or nominee, as the case may be, in its capacity as registered holder of the global depositary receipts representing the
depositary shares. Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, the depositary will treat the persons in whose names the depositary shares, including the depositary receipts, are registered as the owners of such securities for the purpose of receiving
payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, nor any depositary, nor any agent of us or any such depositary will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of,
beneficial ownership interests in the depositary receipts, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its
participants or indirect participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have been advised by DTC that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment of dividends,
distributions upon liquidation or other distributions with respect to the depositary receipts, is to credit participants&#146; accounts with payments on the payment date, unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payments on such payment
date. Each relevant participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants and indirect participants to owners of beneficial
interests in the global depositary receipts held through such participants and indirect participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer
form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participants or indirect participants, and will not be the responsibility of us, any depositary, nor any agent of us or of any such depositary. Neither we nor any

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of the depositary shares by employee benefit plans to which
Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (&#147;ERISA&#148;), applies; plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements to which Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code applies and plans or arrangements to
which the provisions of any federal, state, local, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (&#147;Similar Laws&#148;), apply; and entities whose
underlying assets are considered to include &#147;plan assets&#148; of such plans, accounts and arrangements (each of which is referred to hereunder as a &#147;Plan&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each fiduciary of a Plan should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA or any applicable Similar Laws in the context of the Plan&#146;s
particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the depositary shares. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA or any
applicable Similar Laws and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA and
Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code prohibit Plans subject to such provisions (&#147;ERISA Plans&#148;) from engaging in certain transactions involving &#147;plan assets&#148; with persons that are &#147;parties in interest&#148; under ERISA or
&#147;disqualified persons&#148; under the Code with respect to the ERISA Plans. A violation of these &#147;prohibited transaction&#148; rules may result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code for
those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section&nbsp;3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in
Section&nbsp;3(33) of ERISA) and foreign plans (as described in Section&nbsp;4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to the requirements of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code, but may be subject to Similar Laws (such Plans referred to herein as
&#147;Similar Law Plans&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prohibited transactions within the meaning of Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code
could arise if the depositary shares were acquired by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we or any of our affiliates are a party in interest or a disqualified person. For example, if we are a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to
an investing ERISA Plan (either directly or by reason of our ownership of our subsidiaries), a sale prohibited by Section&nbsp;406(a)(1)(A) of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975(c)(1)(A) of the Code between the investing ERISA Plan and us may be deemed to
occur, unless exemptive relief were available under an applicable exemption (see below). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prohibited transaction class exemptions, or
PTCEs, issued by the United States Department of Labor, as well as certain statutory exemptions available under ERISA and the Code, may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase, holding or
disposition of the depositary shares. Those class and statutory exemptions include: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

&#147;COFPRK.&#148; However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to list the depositary shares. If approved, we expect trading of the depositary shares on the NYSE to begin within the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> period
after the original issue date. Even if the depositary shares are listed, there may be little or no secondary market for the depositary shares. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the depositary shares. However, they
are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making in the depositary shares at any time in their sole discretion. Even if a secondary market for the depositary shares develops, it may not provide significant liquidity and transaction
costs in any secondary market could be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices in any secondary market could be substantial. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your depositary shares at a particular time or that
the price you receive when you sell will be favorable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have agreed that, for the period ending 30 days after the date of this

contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Preferred Stock or depositary shares, any other of our preferred stock (or
depositary shares in respect thereof), or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Preferred Stock, depositary shares, or any other of our preferred stock (or depositary shares in respect thereof), or (ii)&nbsp;enter into
any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Preferred Stock or depositary shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i)&nbsp;or (ii) above is to be settled by
delivery of Preferred Stock or depositary shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with this offering, the
underwriters may engage in short sales, syndicate covering transactions, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Short sales involve syndicate sales of depositary shares in excess of the
number of depositary shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which create a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the depositary shares in the open market after the distribution has been
completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the depositary shares in the open market after pricing that
could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of depositary shares in the open market while the offering is in progress. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This
occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount and commission received by it because the representatives have repurchased depositary shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in
stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or delaying a decline on the market
price of the depositary shares. They may also cause the price of the depositary shares to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. If the underwriters engage in any of these
transactions, they may discontinue any of them at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the
price of the depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in
various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the
underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for the issuer, for which they may receive customary fees and expenses. In

investment and securities activities may have involved, and in the future may involve, securities and instruments of Capital One. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or
their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would
hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the depositary shares offered hereby. Any such credit default
swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the depositary shares offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in

indentures. A copy of each of the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and has been qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, or the Trust Indenture Act. You should read the more detailed provisions of the applicable indenture, including the defined terms, for provisions that may be important to you. You should also consider applicable provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act. In the summary below, we have included references to section numbers so that you can easily locate these provisions. The particular terms of any debt securities we offer will be described in the related prospectus supplement,
along with any applicable modifications of or additions to the general terms of the debt securities described below and in the indentures. For a description of the terms of any series of debt securities, you should also review both the prospectus
supplement relating to that series and the description of the debt securities set forth in this prospectus before making an investment decision. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the applicable indenture. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Corporation is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017,
485,525,340 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. The common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol &#147;COF.&#148; All outstanding shares of common stock are and will be fully paid and nonassessable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following summary is not complete, and you should refer to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, dated October&nbsp;5, 2015 (our &#147;Amended and Restated Bylaws&#148;), for additional information. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </P>

common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a majority of the votes cast is required for
all actions to be taken by stockholders. Directors in uncontested elections shall be elected by a majority of votes cast; however, in contested elections, a plurality standard shall apply. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the
election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the votes cast in an election of directors can elect all of the directors. Shares of common stock also do not have any preemptive, subscription, redemption, sinking fund or
conversion rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing rights may be subject to voting and other rights that we may grant from time to time to the holders of
other classes of our securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For a more detailed description of the terms of these and similar rights granted to the holders of other
classes of our securities, please refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for any offering of our common stock pursuant to this registration statement, to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and to the documents and other information
that we incorporate by reference elsewhere in this prospectus. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Distribution </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent outstanding preferred stock provides for a dividend preference, any dividends payable on our common stock are subject to such
preference. Dividends must be declared by the Board out of legally available funds. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs, common stockholders are entitled to share proportionately in the assets available for distribution to common
stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws could make more difficult or discourage a
tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover attempt that is opposed by the Board but which might be favored by the stockholders. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration
statement, and certain provisions are summarized below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Board of Directors</I>. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended

vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum remains in office, unless the Board determines otherwise. Therefore, unless the Amended and Restated Bylaws are further
amended (or the Board determines otherwise), the Board could prevent any stockholder from enlarging the Board of Directors and filling the new directorships with the stockholder&#146;s own nominees.<I>&nbsp;</I> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Delaware law and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, directors may be removed for or without cause. Our Restated Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that directors may only be removed, whether for or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, voting together as a single class. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>No Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings</I>. Stockholder
action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent. Under circumstances described in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, special meetings of
stockholders can be called by the Chair of the Board or by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors. Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation stockholders have the right to request that
the Corporation call a special meeting of stockholders, provided that the requesting stockholders own 25% or more of the then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the matters proposed to be brought before the special meeting and satisfy
certain requirements set forth in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. These requirements include a &#147;net long&#148; definition of stock ownership for purposes of determining whether stockholders requesting
a special meeting satisfy the 25% ownership threshold, so that only stockholders with full and continuing economic interest and voting rights in our stock can request a special meeting. In addition, our Amended and Restated Bylaws set forth certain
procedural requirements that the Board believes are appropriate to avoid duplicative or unnecessary special meetings. Moreover, any special meeting of stockholders is limited to the business in the notice of the special meeting sent to the
stockholders before the meeting, including any business stated in a valid special meeting request (in the case of a stockholder-requested special meeting).<I>&nbsp;</I> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The provision prohibiting stockholder action by written consent could delay consideration of a stockholder proposal until our next annual
meeting. This would prevent the holders of our stock from unilaterally using the written consent procedure to take stockholder action. The ability to request special meetings may be precluded if stockholders fail to satisfy the requirements in our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. You should refer to these documents for more information about the requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Stockholder Proposals</I>. Only people who are nominated by, or at the direction
of, the Board, or by a stockholder who has given proper written notice prior to a meeting at which directors are to be elected, will be eligible for election as directors. Business conducted at an annual meeting is limited to the business brought
before the meeting by, or at the direction of, the Chair of the Board, the Board or a stockholder who has given proper notice. A stockholder&#146;s notice to us proposing to nominate a person for election as a director must contain certain
information described in the Amended and Restated Bylaws and be submitted in compliance with the time frames specified in the Amended and Restated Bylaws. <I></I> </P>

including 75% of such stock not owned directly or indirectly by any interested stockholder or any affiliate of any interested stockholder. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires this affirmative vote even if no vote is required, or a
lesser percentage is specified, by law or any national securities exchange or otherwise. This 75% affirmative vote is not required in two situations (and a business combination shall require only the vote required by law or any other applicable
provision of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation). First, it is not required if the business combination has been approved by a majority of uninterested, continuing directors. Second, it is not required if certain price and procedure

generally states that, subject to some exceptions, a corporation cannot engage in any business combination with any &#147;interested stockholder&#148; for three years after the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless the
business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote of at least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">66-2/3%</FONT> of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation which is not owned by the interested
stockholder. Delaware law defines an interested stockholder to include any person, and its affiliates and associates, that owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or that is an affiliate or associate of the corporation
and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date. </P>

and Amended and Restated Bylaws do not exclude us from Section&nbsp;203&#146;s restrictions. The provisions of Section&nbsp;203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the Board, since Section&nbsp;203 does
not require stockholder approval for a corporation to engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder, if the board of directors prior to the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder approved either the business
combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder. Business combinations are discussed more fully above. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares or
other securities described herein, which we refer to collectively as the securities, will be book-entry securities. All book-entry securities of the same issue initially will be represented by one or more fully registered global securities. Each
global security will be deposited upon issuance with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, as depositary (&#147;DTC&#148;), and will be registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or
indirect participant in DTC as described below. DTC will thus be the only registered holder of the securities and will be considered the sole owner of the securities for purposes of any indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement, deposit
agreement, purchase contract, or similar agreement governing the terms of such securities, as applicable, which we refer to as a governing agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Global securities may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
Beneficial interests in the global securities may be held through the Euroclear System, or Euroclear, and Clearstream Banking, S.A., or Clearstream, each as indirect participants in DTC. Transfers of beneficial interests in the global securities
will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants, including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream, which may change from time to time. DTC has advised us as follows: it is a
limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for securities that its participants deposit with it.
DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book entry transfers and pledges between participants&#146; accounts, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Direct participants in DTC&#146;s system include both U.S. and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. Access to DTC&#146;s system also is available to others such as both U.S. and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly, which we
collectively call indirect participants. Persons that are not participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the participants or the indirect participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership
interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the participants and the indirect participants. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More
information about DTC can be found at http://www.dtcc.com/ and http://www.dtc.org/. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has also advised us that, upon the issuance of a
global security evidencing any securities, it will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal or face amounts of the securities evidenced thereby to the designated accounts of participants. Ownership of
beneficial interests in the global securities will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership
interests may be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to participants) and the records of participants and indirect participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global
securities). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors in the global securities that are participants may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in
the global securities that are not participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) that are participants in such system. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the global

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. These
laws may impair the ability of holders to transfer beneficial interests in global securities to certain purchasers. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the participants, which in turn act on behalf of the indirect participants, the ability of a
person having beneficial interests in a global security to pledge such interests to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate
evidencing such interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as DTC or any successor depositary for a global security, or any nominee, is the registered holder of
such global security, DTC or such successor depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by such global security for all purposes under the governing agreement applicable to that global security.
Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by such global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of
such securities in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof for any purpose under the governing agreement applicable to that global security. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global security
must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of securities under the governing agreement applicable
to that global security. We understand that, under existing industry practices, in the event that we request any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to give any consent or take any action under
the governing agreement applicable to that global security, DTC or any successor depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action or consent, and such participants would authorize
beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or consent or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, any payments due with respect to any securities (including payments of
principal and interest with respect to debt securities and dividends with respect to equity securities) that are registered in the name of or held by DTC or any successor depositary or nominee will be payable to DTC or such successor depositary or
nominee, as the case may be, in its capacity as registered holder of the global securities representing the securities. Neither we, nor any trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent in respect of the securities, nor any other agent of us or
any such person will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the global securities, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its participants or indirect participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have been advised by DTC that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of a global security, is to credit
participants&#146; accounts with payments on the payment date, unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payments on such payment date. Each relevant participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an
interest in the principal or face amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants and indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants and indirect
participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such
participants or indirect participants, and will not be the responsibility of us, any trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent in respect of the securities, nor any agent of us or of any such person. Neither we nor any such person or agent
will be liable for any delay by DTC or by any participant or indirect participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the securities, and we and any such person or agent may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions
from DTC or its nominee for all purposes. </P>

of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the
case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global security
in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same- day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for
Euroclear or Clearstream. DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of securities only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the applicable global
security and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. </P>

receive physical delivery of the related securities in certificated form and will not be considered the holders of the related securities for any purpose under the governing agreement applicable to that global security, and no global security will
be exchangeable, except for another global security of the same denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of DTC or a successor depositary or nominee. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if the
beneficial owner is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner owns its interest to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable governing agreement. However, if there
is an event of default under any applicable governing agreement, DTC reserves the right to exchange the relevant global securities for securities in certificated form, and to distribute such securities to the participants. </P>
