transfer restrictions applicable to the Original Notes, wil not entitle their holders to registration rights or additional
interest under circumstances relating to our registration obligations and wil have different CUSIP numbers from the

the Exchange Notes on any securities exchange.
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offers must
acknowledge that it wil deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The letter of
transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer wil not be deemed to admit
that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received
in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-
making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we wil make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."

before tendering your Original Notes.

The Exchange Offers
The fol owing is a brief summary of some of the material terms of the Exchange Offers. For a more detailed
description of the Exchange Offers, please refer to "The Exchange Offers."
Background; Purpose
On December 20, 2017, in transactions exempt from registration under
the Securities Act, we issued $6,000,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of the 2023 Original Notes, and $6,000,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of the 2028 Original Notes. These issuances were
conducted by private exchange offers with holders of certain of our
outstanding debt securities. In connection with these private exchange
offers, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated
December 20, 2017 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with the
dealer manager (as such term is used in the Registration Rights
Agreement) for the private exchange offers, for the benefit of the
holders of the Original Notes, in which we agreed, among other things,
to use our commercial y reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange
Offers. The purpose of the Exchange Offers is to satisfy our contractual
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Exchange Offers
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers set
forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, we
are offering to exchange any and al $6,000,000,000 aggregate principal
amount outstanding of the 2023 Original Notes, and any and al
$6,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2028
Original Notes, for equal aggregate principal amounts of the 2023
Exchange Notes and the 2028 Exchange Notes, respectively. In order to
be exchanged for Exchange Notes, Original Notes must be validly
tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted by us. Subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Exchange Offers, al
Original Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before
the applicable Expiration Date wil be accepted by us and exchanged.

CUSIP Numbers and ISINs
The CUSIP numbers and ISINs for the 2023 Original Notes are
06051GGV5, US06051GGV59 (Rule 144A) and U0R8A1AA5,
USU0R8A1AA50 (Regulation S). The CUSIP number and ISIN for the 2023
Exchange Notes are 06051GHC6 and US06051GHC69.
The CUSIP numbers and ISINs for the 2028 Original Notes are
06051GGW3, US06051GGW33 (Rule 144A) and U0R8A1AB3,
USU0R8A1AB34 (Regulation S). The CUSIP number and ISIN for the 2028
Exchange Notes are 06051GHD4 and US06051GHD43.
Expiration Date; Withdrawal Rights
The Exchange Offers wil expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
, 2018, unless extended with respect to either or both of the
Exchange Offers, in which event the Expiration Date wil be the latest
date and time to which we extend such Exchange Offer. Tenders may be
withdrawn at any time before the applicable Expiration Date. See "The
Exchange Offers--Withdrawal Rights." Any Original Notes not accepted
for exchange in either Exchange Offer for any reason wil be returned to
you without expense promptly after the expiration or termination of such
Exchange Offer.
Resale of the Exchange Notes
Based upon existing interpretations by the staff of the SEC as set forth in
previous no-action letters issued to third parties, and subject to the
immediately fol owing sentence, we believe that Exchange Notes issued
pursuant to the Exchange Offers in exchange for Original Notes may be
offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without
compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act (subject to certain representations required to be
made by each tendering holder of Original Notes, as set forth under
"The Exchange Offers--Representations, Warranties and Covenants of
Tendering Holders of Original Notes"). However, any holder of Original
Notes who:


· is one of our "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act);


· does not acquire the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of
business;

· is participating or intends to participate, or has any arrangement or

understanding with any person to participate, in a distribution
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in
violation of the Securities Act; or

· is a broker-dealer who acquired Original Notes directly from us for

its own account in the private exchange offers (and not as a result
of market-making or other trading activities),

wil not be able to rely on the interpretations of the staff of the SEC set
forth in the no-action letters referenced above, wil not be eligible to

participate in the Exchange Offers and must comply with the registration
and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection
with any resale transaction, in the absence of an exemption therefrom.

2


A broker-dealer that holds Original Notes acquired as a result of market-
making activities or other trading activities, and who receives Exchange
Notes for its own account in exchange for such Original Notes pursuant
to the Exchange Offers, may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any

resale of such Exchange Notes. Such broker-dealers may use this
prospectus to satisfy their prospectus delivery requirement with respect
to their Exchange Notes. We have agreed that we wil make this
prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-
dealer for use in connection with any such resale for a period of 90 days
fol owing the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. For further information regarding resales of
Exchange Notes by broker-dealers, see "Plan of Distribution."
We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any
person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange
Offers and, to the best of our information and belief, each person that
wil participate in the Exchange Offers wil acquire the Exchange Notes
in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the
Exchange Notes.
Conditions to the Exchange Offers
Our obligation to accept Original Notes tendered in the Exchange Offers
is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, which we
may waive. In addition, we wil not be obligated to accept for exchange
the Original Notes of any tendering holder that has not made to us
certain representations as set forth under "The Exchange Offers--
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Tendering Holders of
Original Notes." See "The Exchange Offers--Conditions to the Exchange
Offers."
Procedures for Tendering Original Notes The Original Notes currently are held in book-entry form and
represented by global securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). To participate in the
Exchange Offers and tender Original Notes held in book-entry form, by
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Expiration Date, you
must cause the book-entry transfer of your Original Notes to the
Exchange Agent's account at DTC with respect to the Original Notes
established to facilitate the Exchange Offers in accordance with DTC's
Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP"), and the Exchange Agent
must receive an electronic confirmation of such book-entry transfer from
DTC, and either a properly completed and validly executed letter of
transmittal (or manual y signed facsimile thereof) or an agent's message
(as defined below), by which you wil agree to be bound by the letter of
transmittal, and any other required documents.

The Original Notes may be tendered for exchange only in minimum

denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof.

See "The Exchange Offers--Procedures for Tendering Original Notes."
Representations by Tendering Holders
By signing the accompanying letter of transmittal, or agreeing to be
bound thereby by transmission of an agent's message pursuant to ATOP,
you wil represent to us, among other things, that:


· you are not our affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act);


· you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your
business;

· you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no

arrangement or understanding with anyone to participate, in a
distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the
Exchange Notes in violation of the Securities Act;

· you are not a broker-dealer that acquired Original Notes directly

from us in the private exchange offers for your own account (and
not as a result of market-making or other trading activities); and

· if you are a broker-dealer, you wil receive Exchange Notes for your
own account in exchange for Original Notes that were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and

you wil deliver a prospectus (or to the extent permitted by law,
make available a prospectus to purchasers) meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Notes.

You wil be required to make these and other acknowledgements,

representations, warranties and agreements to tender Original Notes in
the Exchange Offers.


See "The Exchange Offers--Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of Tendering Holders of Original Notes."
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners If you are a beneficial owner of Original Notes that are registered in the
name of your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee or custodian and you wish to tender Original Notes in either of
the Exchange Offers, you should promptly contact your nominee or

should keep in mind that your intermediary may require you to take

applicable Expiration Date in order for such entity to tender Original
Notes on your behalf by the applicable Expiration Date in accordance
with the terms of the Exchange Offers. If you wish to tender on your own
behalf, you must, before completing and executing the letter of
transmittal and delivering your Original Notes, either make appropriate
