<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Investing in the depositary shares involves risks, including the risks described below that are specific to the depositary shares and the
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, 2020, as such discussion may be amended or updated in other reports filed by us with the SEC. </I></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:2%; 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 March&nbsp;31,
2021, Capital One&#146;s total liabilities, including deposits, securitized debt obligations and other debt, were approximately $364.0&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 to various regulatory policies and requirements relating to capital actions. In particular, the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief
and Consumer Protection Act of 2018, requires federal banking agencies to establish stringent risk-based capital guidelines and leverage limits applicable to banks and bank holding companies, with more stringent requirements for those institutions
with consolidated assets equal to or greater than $250&nbsp;billion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC have promulgated a series
of final rules that implement these Dodd-Frank requirements and the capital requirements published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, known as Basel III. These rules set forth the criteria for qualifying additional Tier 1 capital
instruments consistent with Basel III, including the requirement that any dividends on such instruments only be paid out of the banking organization&#146;s net income, retained earnings and surplus related to other additional Tier 1 capital
instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in March 2020, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule to implement the stress capital buffer requirement. The

conservation buffer for bank holding companies. Pursuant to the final rule, the Federal Reserve will use the results of its supervisory stress test to determine the size of a bank holding
company&#146;s stress capital buffer requirement. In particular, our stress capital buffer requirement will equal, subject to a floor of 2.5%, the sum of (i)&nbsp;the difference between our starting common equity Tier 1 capital ratio and lowest
projected common equity Tier 1 capital ratio under the severely adverse scenario of the Federal Reserve&#146;s supervisory stress test plus (ii)&nbsp;the ratio of our projected four quarters of common stock dividends (for the fourth to seventh
quarters of the planning horizon) to the projected risk-weighted assets for the quarter in which our projected common equity Tier 1 capital ratio reaches its minimum under the supervisory stress test. Our stress capital buffer requirement is 5.6%
for the period from October&nbsp;1, 2020 through September&nbsp;30, 2021, at which point a revised stress capital buffer requirement will be applicable to us based on our 2021 stress testing results. When combined with our minimum capital
requirements, our common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratio requirements under the stress capital buffer framework are 10.1%, 11.6% and 13.6%, respectively, for the period from October&nbsp;1, 2020 through September&nbsp;30, 2021.
A breach of the stress capital buffer will result in graduated limitations on capital distributions, and in such event, payment of dividends on our Preferred Stock and redemption of our Preferred Stock may be impacted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2020, in light of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, the Federal Reserve introduced measures to ensure that
large bank holding companies maintained a high level of capital resilience. Specifically, the Federal Reserve required certain large bank holding companies, including us, to suspend share repurchases and cap common stock dividends. The Federal
Reserve extended some of these restrictions to the first quarter of 2021, with certain modifications such as permitting participating bank holding companies to resume share repurchases while limiting the aggregate amount of common stock dividend
payments and share repurchases to an amount based on the average net income earned in the preceding four calendar quarters. On March&nbsp;25, 2021, the Federal Reserve further extended these temporary capital distribution restrictions through the
second quarter of 2021. These temporary capital distribution restrictions will end on June&nbsp;30, 2021 for participating bank holding companies whose capital levels are above the minimum capital requirements in the Federal Reserve&#146;s 2021
supervisory stress test. Although these restrictions do not apply to the payment of preferred stock dividends, it is possible that the Federal Reserve could impose similar restrictions on the payment of preferred stock dividends in the future. The
above or any future rules, regulations or capital distribution constraints could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock and your ability to receive distributions on the depositary shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. The Preferred Stock places no restrictions on our business or operations or on our ability to incur
indebtedness or engage in any transactions, subject only to the limited voting rights referred to below under &#147;Description of Preferred Stock&#151;Voting Rights&#148; beginning on page <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-21</FONT> of this

the terms of any of our future preferred stock expressly senior to the Preferred Stock may restrict dividend payments on the Preferred Stock, except for dividends payable solely in shares of the Preferred Stock. Unless full dividends for all of our
outstanding preferred stock senior to the Preferred Stock have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment, no dividends will be declared or paid and no distribution will be made on any
shares of the Preferred Stock, and no shares of the Preferred Stock may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us, directly or indirectly, for consideration. This could result in dividends on the Preferred Stock not being paid when due to

that accrued dividends for the then-current dividend period per share on Preferred Stock, and accrued dividends, including any accumulations, if any, on parity stock, if any, bear to each other. Therefore, if we are not paying full dividends on any

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
represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). </P>

own names on the books that we or the depositary maintain for this purpose, and not indirect holders who own beneficial interests in depositary shares registered in street name or issued in book-entry form through DTC. Please review the special
considerations that apply to indirect holders described in the section entitled &#147;<A HREF="#srom173403_8">Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement</A>&#148; beginning on page <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-26</FONT> of this prospectus

payable on the related share of the Preferred Stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary will distribute any cash dividends or other cash distributions
received in respect of the deposited Preferred Stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the underlying Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of depositary shares held by the holders. If Capital One makes a distribution
other than in cash, the depositary will 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>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Record dates for the payment of dividends and other matters relating to the depositary shares will be the same as the corresponding record

Stock, may instruct the depositary to vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by the holder&#146;s depositary shares. To the extent possible, the depositary will vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares in
accordance with the instructions it receives. We will agree to take all reasonable actions that the depositary determines are necessary to enable the depositary to vote as instructed. If the depositary does not receive specific instructions from the
holders of any depositary shares representing the Preferred Stock, it will not vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by such depositary shares. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue the depositary shares under a book-entry system in the form of one or more global depositary receipts. We will register the
global depositary receipts in the name of CEDE&nbsp;&amp; Co., as a nominee for The Depository Trust Company (&#147;DTC&#148;), or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The global depositary receipts will be
deposited with the depositary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the issuance of the depositary shares in book-entry only form, DTC will credit the accounts of
its participants with the depositary shares upon our instructions. DTC will thus be the only registered holder of the depositary receipts representing the depositary shares and will be considered the sole owner of the depositary receipts for
purposes of the Deposit Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Global depositary receipts 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 depositary receipts 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 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
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 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-</FONT> U.S. 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
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
respect to participants) and the records of participants and indirect participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global depositary receipts). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors in the global depositary receipts that are participants may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the
global depositary receipts 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 depositary receipts on behalf of their participants through customers&#146; securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries. All interests in a global depositary receipt, including those held
through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; 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 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
purposes under the applicable deposit agreement. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a depositary receipt will not be entitled to have depositary shares represented by such depositary receipt registered in their names, will
not 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>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payment of dividends, if any, distributions upon liquidation or other distributions with respect to the depositary shares 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 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
such depositary or agent will be liable for any delay by DTC or by any participant or indirect participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the depositary shares, and we and any such depositary or agent may conclusively rely on and will be

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.

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

transactions, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation&nbsp;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>

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>

below and will be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities and any senior or subordinated debt securities that may be part of a unit, all of which are called debt securities. The senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture
between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to Harris Trust and Savings Bank), as trustee, dated as of November&nbsp;1, 1996, and the subordinated debt
securities will be issued under an indenture dated as of August&nbsp;29, 2006 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, subject in each case to such amendments or supplemental indentures as may be adopted from time
to time. Together, the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are called the indentures, and the senior indenture trustee and the subordinated indenture trustee are called the indenture trustees. </P>

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>

of directors. Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders have the right to request that the Corporation call a special meeting of stockholders or to request that stockholder action be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting,
provided in each case 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 or the actions proposed to be taken by written consent,
as applicable, 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 or action by written consent 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 or
action by written consent. 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 or actions by written consent. 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 ability to take stockholder action by written consent or to request special meetings may be precluded

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

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. <FONT

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

<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>

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>
