| (1) | A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. An explanation of the significance of ratings may be obtained from the ratings agencies. Generally, ratings agencies base their ratings on such material and information, and such of their own investigations, studies and assumptions, as they deem appropriate. Each of the expected security ratings above should be evaluated independently of any other security rating. |
| (2) | It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about May 29, 2025, which is the second business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under 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 any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+2, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade the notes prior to one business day before their date of delivery hereunder should consult their own advisors. |
| (3) | Plus accrued interest, if any, from May 29, 2025. |
