Pursuant to rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, U.S. purchasers are generally required to settle trades in the secondary market in two business days, unless they and the other parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if you wish to trade in the depositary shares on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days, because the depositary shares will initially settle in T+5, you will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of your trade to prevent a failed settlement.
