*A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. It may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning credit rating agency. Each credit rating is applicable only to the specific security to which it applies. Investors should make their own evaluation as to whether an investment in the security is appropriate.

  

**It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about August 14, 2023, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the notes, or “T+3.” Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the United States 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 the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.

 

 

  

Modification of Prospectus Supplement, dated July 29, 2021

 

(1)Marketing Legends: The text appearing on pages S-ii and S-iii shall be replaced in its entirety with the following six paragraphs:

 

None of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement is a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus Regulation (“EEA Qualified Investors”). Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in any Member State of notes that are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement may only do so with respect to EEA Qualified Investors. Neither we nor the agents have authorized, nor do we or they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in the EEA other than to EEA Qualified Investors. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended.

 

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS — The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

 

None of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement is a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in the United Kingdom will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the UK Prospectus Regulation (“UK Qualified Investors”). Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in the United Kingdom of notes that are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement may only do so with respect to UK Qualified Investors. Neither we nor the agents have authorized, nor do we or they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in the UK other than to UK Qualified Investors. The expression “UK Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (the “EUWA”).

 

The communication of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relating to the notes is not being made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of section 21 of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”). Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not being distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the general public in the United Kingdom. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and such other documents and/or materials are for distribution only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments and who fall within the definition of investment professionals (as defined in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Financial Promotion Order")), (ii) fall within Article 49(2)(a) to (d)  of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the United Kingdom, or (iv) are other persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be made under the Financial Promotion Order (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relating to the notes are directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relates will be engaged in only with relevant persons. Any person in the United Kingdom that is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relating to the notes or any of their contents.

 

 

 

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS — The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA, and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA (“UK MiFIR”); or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

 

MIFID II/ UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET — The pricing supplement in respect of any notes may include a legend entitled “MiFID II Product Governance” and/or “UK MiFIR Product Governance”, as applicable, which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the notes and which channels for distribution of the notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the target market assessment. However, a distributor subject to MiFID II and/or the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”), as applicable, is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593, as amended (the “MiFID Product Governance Rules”), and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable, any agent subscribing for any notes is a manufacturer in respect of such notes, but otherwise neither the agents nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable. We make no representation or warranty as to any manufacturer’s or distributor’s compliance with the MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable. We make no representation or warranty as to any manufacturer’s or distributor’s compliance with the MiFID Product Governance Rules or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable.

For the purposes of this provision:

(i)a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II;
