* It is expected that delivery of the 2.500% Senior Notes due 2023 and the 3.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) will be made against payment therefor in New York City on or about July 3, 2017, which will be the 5th business day following the date of pricing of the Senior Notes (such settlement cycle being referred to herein as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Senior Notes on the pricing date or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Senior Notes initially will settle in five business days, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
