* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to review or withdrawal at any time.

** The issuer expects delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 4, 2024, which is the third business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement being referred to as "T+3"). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisers.
