________________________
(1) The applicable page on Bloomberg from which the dealer
managers quoted the bid-side price of the Reference
U.S. Treasury Security.
(2)
Per $1,000 principal amount.
(3) The Total Consideration for Notes validly tendered
prior to or at the Early Tender Date (as defined
below) and accepted for purchase is inclusive of the
Early Tender Payment (as defined below) and calculated
using the applicable Fixed Spread for the applicable
series of Notes to the yield of the Reference U.S.
Treasury Security for that series as of 2:00 p.m., New
York City time, on September 26, 2019. All holders of
Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued
and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and
accepted for purchase from and including the
applicable last interest payment date up to, but not
including, the applicable settlement date.
The Offers are made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated September 12, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase").
Holders that validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes in the Offers at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2019 (the "Early Tender Date"), and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the total consideration as set forth in the table above per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase (the "Total Consideration"), which includes an early tender payment of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Payment"). In addition, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will also receive accrued and unpaid interest ("Accrued Interest") on their accepted Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below).
The applicable Total Consideration payable per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers was determined by the dealer managers in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread for each series of Notes (as set forth in the table above) plus the applicable yield-to-maturity based on the bid-side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security for that series of Notes (as set forth in the table above) as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 26, 2019.
Payment of the applicable Total Consideration and Accrued Interest for the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase is expected to be made, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, on September 30, 2019 (the "Early Settlement Date"). The Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 9, 2019 (the "Expiration Date").
As previously announced, because the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers at the Early Tender Date reached the Maximum Principal Amount (as defined in the Offer to Purchase, as amended), no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. Any tendered Notes that are not accepted for purchase will be returned or credited without expense to the holder's account.

Morgan Securities LLC, Santander Investment Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. to serve as dealer managers and D.F. King & Co., Inc. ("D.F.
