* A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

 

** Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Sahres on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Shares initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Shares who wish to trade the Shares on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days should consult their own advisor.
