Day Count Convention
As further described under Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities Interest Rates and
Interest in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued
interest factor will be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention. The factor is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made
divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:
