Pricing Term Sheet

*We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about April 20, 2022, which will be the fifth business day, as observed in the United Kingdom and the European Union, following the date of this pricing term sheet. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.

Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes on the date of this pricing term sheet or the next succeeding business days should consult their own adviser.
