York business day appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities --
Business Days" in the accompanying prospectus, the description of the following unadjusted business day convention appearing
under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities -- Business Day Conventions" in
the accompanying prospectus and the section "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Defeasance and Covenant
Defeasance" in the accompanying prospectus.
Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer ­ Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities ­
Interest Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be
calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued interest
factor will be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the 30/360 (ISDA) day count
convention. The factor is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360,
calculated on a formula basis as follows:

[360 × (Y2 ­ Y1)] + [30 × (M2 ­ M1)] + (D2 ­ D1)

Day Count Fraction =




360

w he re :
"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"Y2 " is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest
period falls;
"M1 " is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the
interest period falls;
"D1 " is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in which
case D1 will be 30; and
"D2 " is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest period,
unless such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30.
When We Can Redeem the Notes
We will be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The notes will not
be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund ­ that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate custodial
account to repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its stated maturity.

PS-5
Table of Contents
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on the 15th day of each month on or
after May 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to
but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days' prior notice in the manner described under
"Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If the redemption notice is given and funds
deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the notes. If any redemption date is
not a business day, we will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other payment due to the
delay.
What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the
accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes. This
summary supplements the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
Interest on a note will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in
accordance with the U.S. holder's normal method of accounting for tax purposes.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312517156317/d388051d424b2.htm[5/4/2017 4:05:37 PM]


Pricing Supplement No. 24 dated May 1, 2017
Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes
or otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between
(i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated
as such) and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal
the cost of the note (net of accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation -- Taxation of Debt Securities -- Foreign Account
Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or
after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to FATCA withholding. However, according to published guidance,
the withholding tax described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other
disposition of the notes made before January 1, 2019.
