Each Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today, unless extended or earlier terminated by us in our sole discretion (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the 'Expiration Time'). Notes tendered for purchase may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the 'Withdrawal Date'), but not thereafter, unless extended or earlier terminated with respect to an Offer by us in our sole discretion. We expect the settlement date to occur on September 11, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated in respect of an Offer by us in our sole discretion (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the 'Settlement Date'). Each Offer is independent of the other Offers, and we may terminate, modify or waive the conditions of any Offer without terminating, modifying or waiving the conditions of any other Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, holders who (i) validly tender Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time or (ii) validly tender Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 10, 2025 (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the 'Guaranteed Delivery Date') pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and whose Notes (i) have not been validly withdrawn at or prior to the Withdrawal Date and (ii) are accepted for purchase by us, will receive the Consideration specified in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, which will be payable in cash on the Settlement Date as described below. The Consideration applicable to each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted by us pursuant to the Offers has been determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the Offer to Purchase and with standard market practice, using the applicable 'Offer Yield', which is equal to the sum of: a) the 'Reference Yield' specified in the table above that corresponds to the bid-side yield of the Reference Security specified in the table above for such series of Notes on the Bloomberg Reference Page PX6 or PX7, plus b) the Fixed Spread specified in the table above for such series of Notes. Accordingly, the Consideration payable by us for each $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes accepted by us is equal to: (i) the present value on the Settlement Date of $1,000 principal amount of such Notes due on the maturity date (as specified in the table above) of such Notes, and all scheduled interest payments on such $1,000 principal amount of such Notes to be made from (but excluding) the Settlement Date up to and including such maturity date, discounted to the Settlement Date at a discount rate equal to the applicable Offer Yield, minus (ii) the Accrued Interest per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes; such total amount being rounded to the nearest cent per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, and the above calculation has been made in accordance with standard market practice as described by the formula set forth in the Offer to Purchase. In addition to the Consideration, holders whose Notes of a given series are accepted for purchase will also be paid a cash amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from, and including, the last interest payment date for such Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date, rounded to the nearest cent (such amount in respect of a series of Notes, 'Accrued Interest'). Accrued Interest will be payable on the Settlement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers. Under no circumstances will any interest be payable to holders because of any delay on the part of Global Bondholder Services Corporation, as depositary, The Depository Trust Company ('DTC') or any other party in the transmission of funds to holders. The Offers are subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Documents. The Company reserves the right to amend or waive any of the conditions of the Offers, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. If any of the conditions are not satisfied at the Expiration Time with respect to an Offer, the Company may, in its sole discretion and without giving any notice, subject to applicable law, (a) terminate such Offer, (b) extend such Offer, on the same or amended terms, and thereby delay acceptance of any validly tendered Notes, or (c) continue to accept tenders. Holders of Notes are advised to read carefully the Offer to Purchase, including the 'Risk Factors' section, for full details of and information on the procedures for participating in the Offers.
