The notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In Canada, the notes may be offered on a prospectus-exempt basis to certain accredited investors (as defined under applicable Canadian securities laws) who are also qualified institutional buyers.
