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

 

The Issuer expects that delivery of the Shares will be made against payment therefor on or about June 16, 2021, which will be the third business day following the date of the pricing of the Shares (such settlement being herein referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under 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 Shares prior to the date of delivery hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Shares initially will settle in T+3 business days, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.

 

Investors should consider the Issuer’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Preliminary Prospectus, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), contains this and other information about the Issuer and the Shares and should be read carefully before investing. The information in the Preliminary Prospectus and in this pricing term sheet is not complete and may be changed. The Preliminary Prospectus and this pricing term sheet are not offers to sell securities and are not soliciting offers to buy securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted or would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
