These Securities may be offered from time to time over a 25-month period under the Final Prospectus, until such Final Prospectus expires on October 13, 2021. The Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC has not yet become effective. Until the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, no securities may be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted in the United States.
