**\*** **Note: The ratings above are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the securities. The ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. Each of the ratings above should be evaluated independently of any other securities rating.** 

------

**\*\*** **Note: We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about August 27, 2025, which will be the tenth business day following the date of pricing of the notes, or "T+10." 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 any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+10, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before delivery should consult their advisors.**
