| (1) | We expect that delivery of the Shares will be made against payment therefor on or about March 19, 2018, which is the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Shares (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Shares on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Shares initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors. |
