*The Issuer expects to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on or about August 18, 2026, which will be the tenth business day following the date of the pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+10"). Under Rule 15c6-1 of 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 who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+10, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
**These Issuer ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes offered hereby. The ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the relevant rating agency. Each of the Issuer ratings included herein should be evaluated independently of any other Issuer rating.
