The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including a preliminary prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the offering to which this communication relates.  Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents that the Issuer has filed with the SEC, including the preliminary prospectus supplement, for more complete information about the Issuer and this offering.  You may get these documents for free by visiting the SEC website at www.sec.gov.  Alternatively, the Issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus if you request it by contacting Merrill Lynch Fenner & Smith Incorporated toll-free at (800) 294-1322, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC collect at (212) 834-4533, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC toll-free at (866) 718-1649 or BNP Paribas Securities Corp. toll-free at (800) 854-5674.

 

The Issuer expects to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on the third business day following the date of the pricing of the Notes (‘‘T+3’’). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

 

Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Issuer’s preliminary prospectus supplement, dated September 13, 2018, to the Issuer’s prospectus, dated September 13, 2018.
