* A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Each rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each security rating agency has its own methodology for assigning ratings, and, accordingly, each rating should be considered independently of all other ratings.
** Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 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 securities prior to the date that is two business days before the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securities initially will settle T+7 (on March 17, 2022), to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of securities who wish to trade securities prior to the date that is two business days before the settlement date should consult their own advisors.
