* | Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. |
** | It is expected that delivery of the Senior Notes will be made against payment therefor in New York City on or about August 19, 2014, which will be the sixth business day following the date of pricing of the Senior Notes (such settlement cycle being referred to herein as T+6). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Senior Notes on the pricing date or the succeeding two business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Senior Notes initially will settle in six business days, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. |
