 own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to our assets, securities and/or instruments (directly, as collateral securing other
obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with us. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, certain other of
those underwriters or their affiliates have hedged and are likely in the future to hedge or otherwise reduce their exposure, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their
customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge or otherwise reduce such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short
positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their respective affiliates
may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients
that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the
notes on or about the date specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+
”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 prior to the

S-24

business day before the delivery of the notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+ , to specify alternative settlement arrangements
to prevent a failed settlement.
