is expected to occur on Oct. 15, 2024. In addition to the Total

whose 2048 Notes are accepted for purchase will lose all rights as
Holder of the tendered 2048 Notes and interest will cease to accrue
on the Settlement Date for all 2048 Notes accepted in the
Offers.
Following consummation of the Offers, any 2048 Notes that are
purchased in the Offers will be retired and cancelled and no longer
remain outstanding. All Notes not accepted for purchase by the
Company or not purchased due to proration will be returned without
cost to the tendering Holders.
Upon completion of the Offers, there will be approximately
C$525,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2048 Notes
outstanding.
The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions
as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the
right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions
to any Offer. If any of the conditions is not satisfied, the
