<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services companies in the United States and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. PNC has businesses
engaged in retail banking, including residential mortgage, corporate and institutional banking and asset management, providing many of its products and services nationally. PNC&#146;s retail branch network is primarily located in markets across the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Mid-Atlantic,</FONT> Midwest, Southeast and Southwest. PNC also has strategic international offices in four countries outside the U.S. As of June&nbsp;30, 2021, PNC had total consolidated assets of approximately
$554.2&nbsp;billion, total consolidated deposits of approximately $452.9&nbsp;billion and total consolidated shareholders&#146; equity of approximately $54.6&nbsp;billion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1983 with the consolidation of Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident
National Corporation. Since 1983, we have diversified our geographical presence, business mix and product capabilities through internal growth, strategic bank and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-bank</FONT> acquisitions and equity investments,
and the formation of various <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-banking</FONT> subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol &#147;PNC.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC is a holding company and services its obligations primarily with dividends and advances that it receives from
subsidiaries. PNC&#146;s subsidiaries that operate in the banking and securities businesses can pay dividends only if they are in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements imposed on them by federal and state bank regulatory authorities
and securities regulators. PNC&#146;s subsidiaries may be party to credit or other agreements that also may restrict their ability to pay dividends. PNC currently believes that none of these regulatory or contractual restrictions on the ability of
its subsidiaries to pay dividends will affect PNC&#146;s ability to service its own debt or pay dividends on its preferred stock. PNC must also maintain the required capital levels of a bank holding company before it may pay dividends on its stock.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a
result of this regulatory policy, the Federal Reserve might require PNC to commit resources to its subsidiary banks, even when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of PNC or its shareholders or creditors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PNC&#146;s principal executive offices are located at The Tower at PNC Plaza, 300 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-2401, and its telephone number

accompanying prospectus, including the discussion under &#147;Item&nbsp;1A&#151;Risk Factors&#148; in our Annual Report <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on&nbsp;Form&nbsp;10-K&nbsp;for</FONT> 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:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to Payment on and the Market Price for the Senior Notes
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We and our subsidiaries have significant leverage and debt obligations; payments on the Senior Notes will depend on receipt of dividends and
distributions from our subsidiaries. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a holding company and we conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries, including
PNC Bank, National Association, which is our principal banking subsidiary. We depend on dividends, distributions and other payments from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations, including to fund payments on the Senior Notes, and to provide funds
for payment of dividends to our shareholders, to the extent declared by our board of directors. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which PNC Bank, National Association and our other subsidiaries can finance or otherwise supply
funds to us (by dividend or otherwise) and certain of our affiliates. In addition, contractual or other restrictions may also limit our subsidiaries&#146; abilities to pay dividends or make distributions, loans or advances to us. For these reasons,
we may not have access to any assets or cash flow of our subsidiaries to make payments on the Senior Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Senior Notes are structurally
subordinated to the debt of our subsidiaries, which means that creditors (including depositors) of our subsidiaries generally will be paid from those subsidiaries&#146; assets before holders of the Senior Notes would have any claims to those assets.
</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including the holders of the Senior Notes, to participate in the
distribution or allocation of the assets of any subsidiary during its liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary&#146;s creditors, unless we are ourselves a creditor with recognized claims against the
subsidiary. Any capital loans that we make to any of our banking subsidiaries would be subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to other indebtedness of these banking subsidiaries. Claims from creditors (other than us) against the
subsidiaries may include long-term and medium-term debt and substantial obligations related to deposit liabilities, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>An active trading market for the Senior Notes may not develop. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Senior Notes constitute a new issue of securities, for which there is no existing market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Senior Notes on any

convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities of PNC. The Senior Notes will rank equally with all of PNC&#146;s other senior unsecured indebtedness. As of June&nbsp;30, 2021, PNC had $9.95&nbsp;billion of outstanding senior unsecured

August&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and February&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of each year (each an &#147;interest payment date&#148;), commencing on February&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, 2022. Interest will be computed on the basis of a <FONT

Notes falls on a day that is not a business day, PNC will postpone the interest payment or the payment of principal and interest at the maturity date to the next succeeding business day, but the payments made on such dates will be treated as being
made on the date that the payment was first due and the holders of the Senior Notes will not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponements. </P>

Pittsburgh on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. The interest payable on the Senior Notes on any interest payment date, subject to certain exceptions, will be paid to the person in
whose name the Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day, whether or not a business day, immediately preceding the interest payment date. However, interest that PNC pays on the maturity date will be paid to the
person to whom the principal will be payable. Interest will be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars at the office of the principal paying agent in New York, New York or, at PNC&#146;s option in the event the Senior
Notes are not represented by Global Notes (as defined below), by check mailed to the address of the person specified for payment in the preceding sentences. </P>

capital gain recognized by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;non-corporate&nbsp;U.S.</FONT> Holder (such as an individual) generally is subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gain or ordinary income. The deductibility of

federal backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 24%) generally will apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly completed and executed IRS Form
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-9</FONT> providing such U.S. Holder&#146;s correct taxpayer identification number and certifying that such U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding, or to otherwise establish an exemption. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from a payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit
against such U.S. Holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided such holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS. Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors as to
their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption. We cannot refund amounts once withheld. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We

stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position for the underwriters. Stabilizing
transactions involve bids to purchase the Senior Notes in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing, or maintaining the price of the Senior Notes. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Senior Notes in the open market
after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased Senior Notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions, and together with the imposition of a penalty bid, may cause the price of the

connection with the offer and sale of the Senior Notes be distributed or published, in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons who come to

from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity

may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such
investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates has 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&nbsp;securities, including potentially the Senior Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short
positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Senior Notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such
securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P>

limits on the amount of dividends that our subsidiary banks can pay to us without regulatory approval. We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through our bank subsidiaries and other subsidiaries. As a result, our
ability to make dividend payments on the common stock depends primarily on certain federal regulatory considerations and the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries. There are various regulatory restrictions on the ability

applicable prospectus supplement will describe the formula used for determining the dividend rate for each dividend period. We will pay dividends to the holders of record as they appear on our
stock books on the record dates fixed by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof. We may pay dividends in the form of cash or preferred stock (of the same or a different series) or common stock of PNC, in each case as specified in the

dividend period, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, even if our board of directors declares a dividend on that series payable in the future. Dividends on any cumulative preferred stock will accrue from the
date of issuance or the date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board will not declare and pay a dividend on our

assets to such series), until we have paid in full dividends for all past dividend periods on all outstanding senior ranking cumulative preferred stock and have declared a current dividend on all preferred stock ranking senior to that series. If we
do not pay in full dividends for any dividend period on all shares of preferred stock ranking equally as to dividends, all such shares will participate ratably in the payment of dividends for that period in proportion to the full amounts of
dividends to which they are entitled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to certain important exceptions, the terms of certain of our outstanding series of capital

capital security have been paid. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we have outstanding junior subordinated debentures associated with certain capital

from our subsidiary banks are the primary source of funds for payment of dividends to holders of preferred stock, and there are statutory limits on the amount of dividends that our subsidiary banks can pay to us without regulatory approval. We are a
holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through our bank subsidiaries and other subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make dividend payments on the preferred stock depends on the receipt of dividends and other
distributions from our subsidiaries. There are various regulatory restrictions on the ability of our banking subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us, and those restrictions can vary among the different subsidiaries based on
performance, capital and other factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For further information concerning dividend restrictions and other factors that could limit our

we will provide for the issuance by a depositary to the public of receipts for depositary shares, and each of these depositary shares will represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock. We will specify that fraction in
the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited
under a deposit agreement between us and a depositary selected by us. The depositary will be a bank or trust company and will have its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. The prospectus
supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will set forth the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fractional
interest in a share of preferred stock underlying that depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying that depositary share. Those rights include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement. If you purchase the fractional

the sale to the applicable holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P>

number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to that series of preferred
stock. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary will select the depositary shares to be redeemed by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the depositary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be outstanding after the applicable redemption date, and all rights of the holders of

also pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary shares will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and such other
charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Resignation and Removal of Depositary </B></P>

such resignation or removal will take effect only upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of its appointment. The successor depositary must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue securities in registered and not bearer form. This means
that our obligation runs to the holder of the security named on the face of the security. Each security in registered form will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global
securities representing the entire issuance of securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names,
on the books that we, the trustee or an agent maintain for this purpose, as the &#147;holders&#148; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial
interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as indirect owners of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect owners are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in global or book-entry form or in street name
will be indirect owners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Street Name Owners </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we issue certificated securities in definitive form registered in the names of the beneficial owners, investors may choose to hold their
securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held in street name would be registered in the name of a broker, bank or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in
those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For securities held in street name, we will recognize only
the intermediary banks, brokers or other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments
they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect owners, not
holders, of those securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Legal Holders </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee under any indenture and the obligations, if any, of any warrant agents, unit agents,
depository for depository shares and any other third parties employed by us, the trustee or any of those agents, run only to the holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities,
who hold the securities in street name or who hold the securities by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect owner of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in
global form. For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for that payment or notice even if that holder, despite being obligated by law or under agreements with the depository participants or
customers to pass it along to the indirect owners, fails to do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose, such as to amend the indenture for a series of debt securities, the warrant agreement for a series of
warrants or the unit agreement for a series of units or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligations to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, we would seek the approval only from the holders, and not the
indirect owners, of the relevant securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect owners is up to the holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer

we will not issue certificated securities in definitive form to investors. Instead, we will issue global securities in registered form representing the entire issuance of securities. Each global security will be registered in the name of a financial
institution or clearing system that holds the global security as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in that depositary&#146;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests
in the global securities on behalf of themselves or their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because securities issued in global form are registered in the name
of the depositary, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities. This means that we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives from us to its
participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants are not obligated to pass these payments along under the terms of the securities. Instead, they do so under
agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result, investors will not own securities issued in book-entry

depositary&#146;s book-entry system. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders, of the securities. The depositary will not have knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the

registered securities registered in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (DTC&#146;s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered security certificate will be issued for each
issue of securities, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate amount of any issue exceeds $500&nbsp;million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each
$500&nbsp;million of such issue and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining amount of such issue. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If so

Clearstream holds securities for its participants and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement
of certificates. Clearstream provides its participants with, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces
with domestic securities markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector, also known as the Commission de Surveillance du
Secteur Financier. Clearstream participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations.
Clearstream&#146;s participants in the U.S. are limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to other institutions such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with Clearstream participants either directly or indirectly. Distributions with respect to interests in global securities held through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of its participants in accordance

securities for its participants and to clear and settle transactions between its participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from
lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing, and interacts with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.
(the &#147;Euroclear operator&#148;) under contract with Euroclear plc, a U.K. corporation. All operations are conducted by the Euroclear operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the
Euroclear operator, not Euroclear plc. Euroclear plc establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks, including central banks, securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial
intermediaries. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly. Euroclear is an indirect participant in DTC. </P>

securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security, referred to herein as the &#147;beneficial owner,&#148; is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial
owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions and periodic statements of their holdings, in each case from
the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on
behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities unless the use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. </P>

issue is redeemable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A beneficial owner must give any required notice of its election to have its securities repurchased through the
participant through which it holds its beneficial interest in the security to the applicable trustee or tender agent. The beneficial owner shall effect delivery of its securities by causing the direct participant to transfer its interest in the

date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as in the case of securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name.&#148; These payments will be the responsibility of such participant and not DTC, PNC or any agent thereof, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) will be the responsibility of PNC or its agent. Disbursement of
such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct or indirect participants. None of PNC, any trustee or agent, or the registrar for the
securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security or global securities for any series of securities or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC may discontinue providing its services as depositary with
respect to any securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or our agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, security certificates in definitive form will be printed and delivered to DTC.
In addition, we may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depositary). In that event, security certificates in definitive form are required to be printed and delivered to DTC.

including potentially the securities offered by this prospectus. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the securities offered by this prospectus. These broker-dealers or their affiliates may also make investment
