(1) The security ratings above are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the securities. The ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each of the security ratings above should be evaluated independently of any other security rating.


We expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on March 25, 2019, which will be the third business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their notes on the initial pricing date of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers who wish to trade their notes on the initial pricing date of the notes should consult their advisors.
