. We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. It is expected that the delivery of the Securities will be made against payment therefor on or about the date specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which is the fifth business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to the trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Securities prior to one business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Securities initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own adviser. The following are the estimated expenses to be incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the Securities:

| Printing expenses                                                   |     | $ |    25,000 |
| Legal fees and expenses                                             |     | $ |   300,000 |
| Accounting fees and expenses                                        |     | $ |   250,000 |
| Trustee’s, calculation agent’s and paying agent’s fees and expenses |     | $ |    45,000 |

| Other fees                                                          |     | $ |   200,000 |
| Total                                                               |     | $ | 1,140,200 |
