The notes to be issued by HR (the Further Notes) may not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the original notes issued (the Original Notes). Whether the Further Notes would be fungible for such purposes will depend on, among other things, the date such Further Notes are issued, the yield of the outstanding Original Notes at that time based on their market value, and whether the Original Notes were issued with original issue discount (OID). If the Further Notes are not treated as fungible with the Original Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Further Notes may be issued with OID. Investors in the Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the implications of the Further Notes being issued with OID.
