It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made, against payment for the notes, on or about June 10, 2026, which will be the tenth business day following the pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to the first business day before delivery of the notes should specify an extended settlement cycle at the time they enter into any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors. |
