(1) A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
(2) It is expected that delivery of the bonds will be made on or about May 11, 2018, which will be the third business day (T+3) following the date hereof. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days (T+2), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.
