Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Preferred Stock on the date of pricing or any of the next three succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Preferred Stock initially will settle T + 7, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Preferred Stock who wish to trade the Preferred Stock on the date of pricing of the Preferred Stock or any of the next three succeeding business days should consult their own advisor.
