 of dispositions of notes effected
by, certain U.S. holders. In addition, certain U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) in respect of such amounts if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers to the person from whom they
receive payments or otherwise comply with applicable requirements. A holder that is not a “United States person” (as defined in the Code) may be required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish that they are
exempt from such information reporting requirements and backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. or non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against the
holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA

Under the U.S. tax rules known as the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), a holder of notes will generally be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax on interest payments on the notes if the holder is not FATCA compliant or holds its notes through a foreign financial
institution that is not FATCA compliant, unless an exemption applies. In order to be treated as FATCA compliant, a holder must provide us or an applicable withholding agent certain documentation (usually an IRS Form
W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) containing information about its identity, its FATCA status, and
if required, its direct and indirect U.S. owners. These requirements may be modified by the adoption or implementation of an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another country or by future U.S. Treasury regulations. If any
taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any payments in respect of the notes as a result of a beneficial owner or intermediary’s failure to comply with the foregoing rules, no additional amounts will be paid on the notes as a result
of the deduction or withholding of such tax.

S-28

Documentation that holders provide in order to be treated as FATCA compliant may be reported to the IRS and
other tax authorities, including information about a holder’s identity, its FATCA status, and if applicable, its direct and indirect U.S. owners. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers about how information reporting and
the possible imposition of withholding tax under FATCA may apply to their investment in the notes.
