$1,750,000,000 to $2,500,000,000, as such amount may be increased or decreased in the discretion of the Issuer, WML and DCL. Based on the hypothetical reference yield and other assumptions described in the preliminary prospectus supplement, the Issuer, WML and DCL expect to purchase approximately $3.14 billion aggregate principal amount of Tender Offer Notes in the Tender Offer for a combined aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) equal to the Aggregate Tender Cap.

 

See “Summary—Recent Developments—Concurrent Tender Offer” and “Capitalization”.

*Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization at any time.

The Issuer expects that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about May 17, 2024 which will be the third business day following the date of this pricing term sheet (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Under the E.U. Central Securities Depositaries Regulation, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two London business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Also, under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before the date of delivery of the Notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes during such period should consult their advisors.
