The Issuer expects to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on the seventh London business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (“T+7”). 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 or the next four succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+7, 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 16, 2019, to the Issuer’s prospectus, dated September 13, 2018.
