We intend to
apply to list the Notes of each series on the New York Stock Exchange or another recognized securities exchange; however, there can be no assurance that the Notes will be so listed by the time the Notes are delivered to purchasers or that such
listing will be maintained or granted at all. Currently, there is no public market for the Notes. We have been advised that the underwriters currently intend to make a market in the Notes of each series. However, they are not obligated to do so and
they may discontinue market making activities at any time without notice. See Underwriting.
We expect that delivery of the
Notes will be made to investors in book-entry form through the facilities of Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System, on or about
, 2020, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such settlement cycle being referred to as T+3).
Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in two business days, unless the parties
to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date hereof will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the
time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
