It is expected that delivery of the 2028 Notes and the 2048 Notes (together, the notes) will be made against payment thereof on or about November 6, 2018, which will be the fifth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (such settlement being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or on the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
