The Issuer expects that delivery of the Notes offered hereby will be made against payment therefor on or about October 31, 2024, which will be
the second business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+2"). 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 such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the initial pricing date of the Notes will be
required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+2, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade
to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
