RISK FACTORS Investing in our securities involves risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, in addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in any other prospectus supplement and the risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K,which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The occurrence or realization of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or operations. Any adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results could result in a decline in the value of our securities and the loss of all or part of your investment. There is currently no trading market for the notes and an active trading market for the notes may not develop. The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading market, and we do not intend to list them on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. As a result, an active trading market for the notes may not develop, or if one does develop, it may not be sustained. If an active trading market fails to develop or cannot be sustained, you may not be able to resell your notes at their fair market value or at all. Increases in prevailing interest rates could adversely impact the trading price for the notes. The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, and increases in prevailing interest rates could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the notes. Holders of the notes may be subject to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate
