We expect that delivery of the Subordinated Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Subordinated Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Subordinated Notes prior to the delivery of the Subordinated Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Subordinated Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Subordinated Notes who wish to trade their Subordinated Notes prior to their date of delivery should consult their own advisors.
