1 Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade such notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day should consult their own advisor.

Changes to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
 
On March 3, 2014, RCI priced a Canadian offering of Cdn$1.25 billion of debt securities consisting of Cdn$250 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes due 2017, Cdn$400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.8% senior notes due 2019, and Cdn$600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.0% senior notes due 2024 (collectively, the “Canadian Notes”). The Canadian Notes, which were issued by RCI and guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by RCP, comprise a portion of the expected additional debt described under the heading “Summary of the Offering—Expected Additional Debt” and elsewhere in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. RCI intends to fund the  New Wireless Spectrum licenses with the net proceeds from the issuance of the 5.00% Senior Notes due 2044, the net proceeds from the issuance of the Canadian Notes, its available cash on hand, additional proceeds from its accounts receivable securitization program and, to the extent necessary, advances under its bank credit facility. The Canadian Notes are being offered only by means of a prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada. The offering of the Canadian Notes is not being made in the United States. Conforming changes are made throughout the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement to reflect the issuance of the Canadian Notes.
