Other:

 

  (1) United States Tax Considerations

Final regulations released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on January 17, 2013 state that Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) withholding as described in the Prospectus under “United States Taxation- Foreign Account Tax Compliance Withholding” will generally not apply to obligations that are issued prior to January 1, 2014; therefore, the Notes will not be subject to FATCA withholding.

In addition, please see the description under the heading “United States Taxation—United States Holders” in the accompanying prospectus for a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning the Notes.

 

  (2) Delivery and Settlement

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date, which will be on the forth business day following the date of pricing (“T+4”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing supplement or

 

PS-3


succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will settle in T+4, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement; such purchasers should also consult their own advisors in this regard.

Terms left blank or marked “N/A,” “No,” “None” or in a similar manner shall not apply to the issue of Notes except as may otherwise be specified.
