The information in this filing is being incorporated by reference into the prospectus for the Notes.

Specifically, the following information published in Canada on October 27, 2015, in connection with the above referenced Offering being made exclusively outside the United States, is being furnished to the Commission under cover of this Form 6-K pursuant to the attached Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4:
