CONSENT TO U.K. BAIL-IN POWER

Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or the Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes), by acquiring the Notes, each holder and beneficial owner of the Notes acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

Under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power in circumstances in which the relevant U.K. resolution authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met. These conditions include that a U.K. bank or investment firm is failing or is likely to fail to satisfy the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") threshold conditions for authorization to carry on certain regulated activities (within the meaning of section 55B FSMA) or, in the case of a U.K. banking group company that is a European Economic Area ("EEA") or third country institution or investment firm, that the relevant EEA or third country relevant authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met in respect of that entity.

The U.K. Bail-in Power includes any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power, which allows for (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of Barclays Bank PLC or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes such shares, securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the Notes and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Notes, or amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the Notes, or the dates on which interest or any other amounts become payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised by means of a variation of the terms of the Notes solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each holder and beneficial owner of the Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders or beneficial owners of the Notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights holders or beneficial owners of the Notes may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in breach of laws applicable in England.

For more information, please see "Selected Risk Considerations-Risks Relating to the Issuer-You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment If Any U.K. Bail-in Power Is Exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority" in this pricing supplement as well as "U.K. Bail-in Power," "Risk Factors-Risks Relating to the Securities Generally-Regulatory action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail, including the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect the value of any securities" and "Risk Factors-Risks Relating to the Securities Generally-Under the terms of the securities, you have agreed to be bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES

The range of the estimated values of the Notes referenced above may not correlate on a linear basis with the range of any other term of the Notes as may be set forth in this pricing supplement. We determined the size of such range based on prevailing market conditions, as well as the anticipated duration of the marketing period for the Notes. The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Initial Valuation Date, based on prevailing market conditions on or prior to the Initial Valuation Date, and will be communicated to investors either orally or in a final pricing supplement.

Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates, and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables such as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing, and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the Notes may be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

Our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is expected to be less than the initial issue price of the Notes. The difference between the initial issue price of the Notes and our estimated value of the Notes is a result of several factors, including any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees (including any structuring or other distribution related fees) to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.

Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.

Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Initial Valuation Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately six months after the Issue Date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, which may include the tenor of the Notes and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the initial Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

We urge you to read the "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PS-12 of this pricing supplement.

You may revoke your offer to purchase the Notes at any time prior to the Initial Valuation Date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Notes prior to the Initial Valuation Date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.

The Notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if any of the following statements are true:

PS-6

You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment in the Notes. You should reach a decision whether to invest in the Notes after carefully considering, with your advisors, the appropriateness of the Notes in light of your investment objectives and the specific information set out in this pricing supplement and the documents referenced under "Additional Documents Related to the Offering of the Notes" in this pricing supplement. Neither the Issuer nor Barclays Capital Inc. makes any recommendation as to the appropriateness of the Notes for investment.

PS-7

ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTES

The Coupon Reference Dates, Coupon Payment Dates, any Call Valuation Date, any Call Settlement Date and the Maturity Date are subject to postponement in certain circumstances, as described under "Reference Assets-Equity Securities-Market Disruption Events for Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset," "Reference Assets-Least or Best Performing Reference Asset-Scheduled Trading Days and Market Disruption Events for Securities Linked to the Reference Asset with the Lowest or Highest Return in a Group of Two or More Equity Securities, Exchange-Traded Funds and/or Indices of Equity Securities" and "Terms of the Notes-Payment Dates" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Call Valuation Date or Coupon Reference Date is postponed, the Call Settlement Date or the Coupon Payment Date following such Call Valuation Date or Coupon Reference Date will be postponed by the same number of business days from but excluding the originally scheduled Call Valuation Date or Coupon Reference Date to and including the actual Call Valuation Date or Coupon Reference Date. No interest will accrue as a result of any delayed payment.

In addition, the Reference Assets and the Notes are subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent under certain circumstances, as described under "Reference Assets-Equity Securities-Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

PS-8

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES OF AMOUNTS PAYABLE UPON AUTOMATIC CALL

The following examples demonstrate the hypothetical total return upon an Automatic Call under various circumstances. The "total return" as used in these examples is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the aggregate payments per $1,000 principal amount Note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the Notes. The numbers appearing in the following tables and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The hypothetical examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes and make the following key assumption:

Example 1: The Notes are redeemed on the first Call Valuation Date.

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on the first Call Valuation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the Notes are redeemed and you will receive the Redemption Price on the related Call Settlement Date.

The Notes will cease to be outstanding after the Call Settlement Date, and you will not receive any further payments on the Notes.

The total return on investment of the Notes, including the Coupon Payments, is 4.7502%.

Example 2: The Notes are redeemed on the third Call Valuation Date.

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on the third Call Valuation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the Notes are redeemed and you will receive the Redemption Price on the related Call Settlement Date.

The Notes will cease to be outstanding after the Call Settlement Date, and you will not receive any further payments on the Notes.

The total return on investment of the Notes, including the Coupon Payments, is 6.3336%.

Example 3: The Notes are redeemed on the final Call Valuation Date.

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on the final Call Valuation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the Notes are redeemed and you will receive the Redemption Price on the related Call Settlement Date.

The Notes will cease to be outstanding after the Call Settlement Date, and you will not receive any further payments on the Notes.

The total return on investment of the Notes, including the Coupon Payments, is 18.2091%.

Each of the examples above demonstrate that the return on the Notes upon an Automatic Call will be limited to the Coupons Payments payable on the Notes up to and including the applicable Call Settlement Date.

PS-9

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES OF AMOUNTS PAYABLE AT MATURITY

The following table illustrates the hypothetical payment at maturity under various circumstances. The examples set forth below are purely hypothetical and are provided for illustrative purposes only. The numbers appearing in the following tables and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The hypothetical examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes and make the following key assumptions:

* Thehypothetical Initial Values shown above have been chosen for illustrative purposes only and do not represent likely Initial Values. The Barrier Values, Physical Delivery Amounts and Fractional Share Amounts shown in the table above are based on such hypothetical Initial Values. The actual Initial Value, Barrier Value, Physical Delivery Amount and Fractional Share Amount for each Reference Asset will be determined on the Initial Valuation Date.

For information regarding recent values of the Reference Assets, please see "Information Regarding the Reference Assets" in this pricing supplement.

** per $1,000 principal amount Note, excluding the final Coupon Payment, and assumes we do not elect to exercise our physical settlement option. For an example demonstrating the amount of shares and cash that you would receive if (a) the Final Value of the Reference Asset is less than the Barrier Value and (b) we elect to exercise our physical settlement option, please see the final example below.

The following examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated:

PS-10

Example 1: The Final Value of Reference Asset A is $225.00, the Final Value of Reference Asset B is $108.50, the Final Value of Reference Asset C is $160.00 and the Final Value of Reference Asset D is $198.00.

Because Reference Asset A has the lowest Reference Asset Return, Reference Asset A is the Least Performing Reference Asset. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold (plus the final Coupon Payment on the Notes).

The total return on investment of the Notes, including the Coupon Payments is 19.0008%, the maximum possible return on the Notes.

Example 2: The Final Value of Reference Asset A is $232.50, the Final Value of Reference Asset B is $98.00, the Final Value of Reference Asset C is $145.00 and the Final Value of Reference Asset D is $180.00.

Because Reference Asset B has the lowest Reference Asset Return, Reference Asset B is the Least Performing Reference Asset. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold (plus the final Coupon Payment on the Notes).

The total return on investment of the Notes, including the Coupon Payments is 19.0008%, the maximum possible return on the Notes

Example 3: The Final Value of Reference Asset A is $82.50, the Final Value of Reference Asset B is $28.00, the Final Value of Reference Asset C is $45.00 and the Final Value of Reference Asset D is $60.00.

Because Reference Asset B has the lowest Reference Asset Return, Reference Asset B is the Least Performing Reference Asset. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold (plus the final Coupon Payment on the Notes), calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × -60.00%] = $400.00

The total return on investment of the Notes, including the Coupon Payments, is -40.9992%.

Because Reference Asset B is the Least Performing Reference Asset, the Applicable Physical Delivery Amount and the Applicable Fractional Share Amount are 14 shares and 0.28571 shares, respectively, of Reference Asset B. Accordingly, if we do elect to exercise our physical settlement option, you will receive on the Maturity Date a total of 14 shares of Reference Asset B plus $8.00 in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Initial Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is greater than $1,000 and we do elect to exercise our physical settlement option, you will not receive any shares of such Reference Asset, rather you will only receive a cash payment on the Maturity Date equivalent to the Fractional Share Amount of such Reference Asset multiplied by its Final Value.

Example 3 demonstrates that if the Notes are not redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, and if the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, your investment in the Notes will be fully exposed to the decline of the Least Performing Reference Asset from its Initial Value. You will not benefit in any way from the Reference Asset Return of any other Reference Asset being higher than the Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset.

If the Notes are not redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, you may lose up to 100.00% of the principal amount of your Notes. Any payment on the Notes, including the repayment of principal, is subject to the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC.

PS-11

SELECTED RISK CONSIDERATIONS

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Assets or their components, if any. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Notes are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Notes generally in the "Risk Factors" section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the Notes unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the Notes.

Risks Relating to the Notes Generally

Accordingly, you should understand that a higher coupon payment amount reflects, among other things, an indication of a greater likelihood that you will incur a loss of principal at maturity than would have been the case had the amount of such coupon payments been lower. In addition, actual volatility over the term of the Notes may be significantly higher than the expected volatility at the time the terms of the Notes were determined. If actual volatility is higher than expected, you will face an even greater risk that you will lose some or all of your principal at maturity for the reasons described above.

The Redemption Price that you would receive on a Call Settlement Date, together with any coupon payments that you may have received prior to the Call Settlement Date, may be less than the aggregate amount of payments that you would have received had the Notes not been redeemed. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes in a comparable investment with a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. No additional payments will be due after the relevant Call Settlement Date. The fact that the Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity may also adversely impact your ability to sell your Notes and the price at which they may be sold.

PS-13

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

In connection with our normal business activities and in connection with hedging our obligations under the Notes, we and our affiliates make markets in and trade various financial instruments or products for our accounts and for the account of our clients and otherwise provide investment banking and other financial services with respect to these financial instruments and products. These financial instruments and products may include securities, derivative instruments or assets that may relate to the Reference Assets or their components, if any. In any such market making, trading and hedging activity, and other financial services, we or our affiliates may take positions or take actions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of the holders of the Notes. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the Notes into account in conducting these activities. Such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking and other financial services may negatively impact the value of the Notes.

In addition, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as the agent for the Notes, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Notes. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the Notes and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as incentive to sell the Notes instead of other investments. Furthermore, we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the Notes for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based upon any independent verification or valuation.

In addition to the activities described above, we will also act as the Calculation Agent for the Notes. As Calculation Agent, we will determine any values of the Reference Assets and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the Notes. In making these determinations, the Calculation Agent may be required to make discretionary judgements relating to the Reference Assets, including determining whether a market disruption event has occurred or whether certain adjustments to the Reference Assets or other terms of the Notes are necessary, as further described in the accompanying prospectus supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes, and any of these determinations may adversely affect any payments on the Notes.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

You should review carefully the sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences-Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders-Notes Treated as Put Options and Deposits" and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, "-Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders." Except as described below, the discussions therein and below apply to you only if you purchase the Notes at the stated principal amount of $1,000 per Note. The following discussion, when read in combination with those sections, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Notes.

Due to the lack of direct legal authority, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes. Our special tax counsel believes that it is reasonable to treat a Note for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a put option (the "Put Option") written by you to us with respect to the Reference Assets, secured by a cash deposit equal to the initial issue price of the Note (the "Deposit"), which will have an annual yield based on our cost of borrowing, as shown below. If this treatment is respected, only a portion of each coupon payment will be attributable to interest on the Deposit; the remainder will represent premium attributable to your grant of the Put Option ("Put Premium"). By purchasing the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes consistently with the treatment and allocation as described above as well as our determination of the Deposit's "issue price" (as described more fully below). We will follow this approach in determining our information reporting responsibilities, if any. The following discussion supersedes the discussion in the accompanying prospectus supplement to the extent it is inconsistent therewith.

In determining our reporting responsibilities, we intend to treat the Deposit for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having an "issue price" equal to the stated principal amount of the Notes. If the IRS were to challenge this determination, the Deposit could be treated as issued with original issue discount ("OID") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case you might be required to accrue the OID as interest income prior to receipt of the corresponding cash, regardless of your method of tax accounting. Assuming the treatment and allocation as well as our determination of the Deposit's "issue price" described above are respected, interest on the Deposit will be taxed as ordinary income, while the Put Premium will not be taken into account prior to the taxable disposition of the Notes (including redemption upon an automatic call or at maturity). Assuming that you are an initial purchaser of Notes purchasing the Notes at the initial issue price for cash, (i) if your Notes are called or held to maturity and the Put Option expires unexercised (i.e., you receive a cash payment - not including the final coupon payment - at maturity equal to the amount of the Deposit), you will recognize short-term capital gain in an amount equal to the total Put Premium received, and (ii) if, instead, the Put Option is deemed to be exercised at maturity and we do not elect to exercise our physical settlement option (i.e., you receive a cash payment at maturity - not including the final coupon payment - that is less than the amount of the Deposit), you will recognize short-term capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (x) the total Put Premium received and (y) the cash settlement value of the Put Option (i.e., the amount of the Deposit minus the cash you receive at maturity, not including the final coupon payment). If at maturity you receive shares of the Least Performing Reference Asset, you generally will not recognize gain or loss with respect to the Put Premium or the Reference Asset received; instead, the total Put Premium will reduce your basis in that Reference Asset. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of any Reference Asset that you may receive at maturity. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential U.S. federal tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Reference Asset.

There are, however, other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or a court may adopt for the Notes, in which case the timing and character of your income or loss could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. The notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for investors in the Notes are the character of income or loss (including whether the Put Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. While it is not clear whether the Notes would be viewed as similar to the typical prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of Notes at the issue price (as described above) should also consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments, as well as the allocation of the purchase price of the Notes between the Deposit and the Put Option and the potential application of the "market discount" rules to the Deposit.

The discussions above and in the accompanying prospectus supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b).

Treasury regulations under Section 871(m) generally impose a withholding tax on certain "dividend equivalents" under certain "equity linked instruments." A recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a "delta of one" with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an "Underlying Security"). Based on our determination that the Notes do not have a "delta of one" within the meaning of the regulations, we expect that these regulations will not apply to the Notes with regard to non-U.S. holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the Notes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.

In determining our reporting responsibilities (if any), we intend to treat a portion of each Coupon Payment equal to approximately 4.75%⁽¹⁾ per annum times the amount of the Deposit times the number of days in the applicable period divided by 365 as interest on the Deposit (so that the amount allocated as interest on the Deposit will vary from Coupon Payment to Coupon Payment depending on the number of days in the applicable period) and the remainder of each Coupon Payment as Put Premium.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We will agree to sell to Barclays Capital Inc. (the "Agent"), and the Agent will agree to purchase from us, the principal amount of the Notes, and at the price, specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. The Agent will commit to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on the Issue Date, which is more than one business day following the Initial Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying prospectus supplement, under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
