* The rating of the Notes should be evaluated independently from similar ratings of other securities. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to review, revision, suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

** We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about June 2, 2020, which is the third business day following the date of this pricing term sheet (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes earlier than the second business day before June 2, 2020 will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their own advisors.
