The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including the Base Prospectus) and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for this offering. Before you invest, you should read the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement for this offering in that registration statement, and other documents the Issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR) at www.sec.gov.

It is expected that delivery of the floating rate notes will be made, against payment of the floating rate notes, on or about March 12, 2024, which will be the fifth (5th) business day in the United States following the date of pricing of the floating rate notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, purchases or sales of floating rate notes in the secondary market generally are required to settle within two (2) business days (T+2), unless the parties to any such transaction expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the floating rate notes who wish to trade the floating rate notes on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next two (2) succeeding business days, will be required, because the floating rate notes initially will settle within five (5) business days (T+5) in the United States, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the floating rate notes who wish to trade on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next succeeding business day should consult their own legal advisers.

No EEA PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been prepared as the floating rate notes are not available to retail in the EEA. No UK PRIIPs KID has been prepared as the floating rate notes are not available to retail in the United Kingdom.

Any investment activity (including, but not limited to, any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire securities) to which this communication relates will only be available to, and will only be engaged with, relevant persons.

Singapore Securities and Futures Act Product Classification—Solely for the purposes of its obligations pursuant to sections 309B(1)(a) and 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the “SFA”), the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A of the SFA) that the Securities are “prescribed capital markets products” (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018).

To the extent any underwriter that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer intends to effect any offers or sales of any floating rate notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers in accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations.
