The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 4, 2025 (the “Expiration Time”). In addition, the withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 19, 2025, for the Tender Offer has now passed; accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer may not be withdrawn. Holders of Notes who tendered Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time are eligible to receive the Total Consideration. The Company will only accept for purchase Notes up to the Maximum Amount. Since the Maximum Amount has been reached in respect of tenders of Notes made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, no further Notes will be accepted for purchase.
The Company’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or, when applicable, waiver of certain customary conditions, as further described in the Offer to Purchase.
