<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about </font>November&nbsp;2, 2021, which will be three business days (as such term is used for purposes of Rule&nbsp;15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;)) following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as &#147;T+3&#148;). Under Rule&nbsp;15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securities initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.</p>
