(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or
prior to the Early Tender Date (as defined below) and accepted for
purchase by the Company. (2) Does not include Accrued Interest (as
defined below), which will also be payable as described below. (3)
Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).
The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to
conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 6,
2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
“Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth a detailed description of
the Tender Offer. The Company reserves the right, but is under no
obligation, to increase or decrease the Notes Cap in its sole
discretion at any time without extending or reinstating withdrawal
rights, subject to compliance with applicable law.
The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on December 6, 2024, or any other date and time to which the
Company extends the Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be
extended with respect to the Tender Offer, the “Expiration Date”),
unless earlier terminated. Holders of Notes must validly tender and
not validly withdraw their Notes prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on November 20, 2024 (such date and time, as it may be
extended with respect to the Tender Offer, the “Early Tender
Date”), and the holder’s Notes must be accepted for purchase, to be
eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below). If
a holder validly tenders Notes after the Early Tender Date but
prior to or at the Expiration Date, and the holder’s Notes are
accepted for purchase, the holder will only be eligible to receive
the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below).
Subject to the Notes Cap and proration, if applicable, the total
consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Tender Date
and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be as
set forth in the table above (excluding Accrued Interest (as
defined below), the “Total Consideration”). The Total Consideration
includes an early tender premium per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes accepted for purchase as set forth in the table above (the
“Early Tender Premium”). Notes validly tendered after the Early
Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for
purchase will receive the Total Consideration minus the Early
Tender Premium (the “Tender Offer Consideration”).
In addition to the consideration described above, all holders of
Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer will receive
accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest
payment date with respect to such Notes to, but not including, the
applicable settlement date (“Accrued Interest”).
The Company intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and
accepted Notes with available cash on hand and other sources of
liquidity. The purpose of the Tender Offer is to purchase a portion
of the Notes, subject to the Notes Cap, in order to reduce the
Company’s total outstanding public debt consistent with the
Company’s previously announced deleveraging strategy.
The Tender Offer will expire on the Expiration Date. Except as
set forth below, payment for the Notes that are validly tendered
prior to or at the Expiration Date and that are accepted for
purchase will be made on a date promptly following the Expiration
Date, which is currently anticipated to be December 10, 2024, the
second business day after the Expiration Date. The Company reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to make payment for Notes that
are validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that
are accepted for purchase on an earlier settlement date, which, if
applicable, is currently anticipated to be November 22, 2024,
provided that the conditions to the satisfaction of the Tender
Offer are satisfied. The Company is not obligated to conduct any
early settlement or have any early settlement occur on any
particular date.
Tendered Notes may be withdrawn prior to or at, but not after,
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 20, 2024.
The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
certain conditions which are specified in the Offer to Purchase.
The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount
of Notes being tendered.
