It is expected that delivery of the depositary shares will be made through the facilities of DTC on or about February 28, 2019, which will be the fifth business day following the initial sale of the depositary 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 a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the depositary shares before the delivery of the depositary shares will be required, by virtue of the fact that the depositary shares initially will settle on a delayed basis, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
