The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering
to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering.
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the expected settlement date specified above, which is five business
days following the date of pricing of the Notes (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 three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, investors who wish to trade their Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact
that the Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Investors of Notes who wish to trade their Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding
business day should consult their own advisor.
You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov.
Alternatively, the issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated toll-free at
1-800-294-1322
or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC toll-free at
1-800-645-3751.
Any disclaimer or other notice that may appear below is not applicable to this
communication and should be disregarded. Such disclaimer or notice was automatically generated as a result of this communication being sent by Bloomberg or another email system.
