(1) |
Per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. |
|
(2) |
The amount to be paid for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase. The Total Consideration includes an Early Tender Premium of US$30.00 for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes. In addition, Accrued Interest will be paid. |
|
(3) |
The amount to be paid for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase. In addition, Accrued Interest will be paid. |
The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2023, unless extended by the Issuer (such time and date, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date“). The deadline for Holders to validly tender (and not validly withdraw) Notes in the Tender Offer and be eligible to receive payment of the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Premium, was 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 31, 2023 (such time and date, the “Early Tender Date“).
As of the Early Tender Date, US$208,943,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by Holders.
The “Total Consideration” for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date is US$780.00, which includes an early tender premium equal to US$30.00 (the “Early Tender Premium“). Holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will not be entitled to receive the Early Tender Premium and will therefore be entitled to receive, for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, US$750.00 (the “Tender Offer Consideration“).
The Issuer has accepted for purchase all of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Date, and intends to make payment in cash of an amount equal to the Total Consideration plus Accrued Interest for all such Notes on June 9, 2023 (the “Early Settlement Date“). The Withdrawal Deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2023 has passed and, accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer thereafter may no longer be withdrawn.
If the purchase of all Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date (when combined with all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date) would cause the Issuer to accept for purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes that exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, then the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed at the Expiration Date and, assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Tender Offer, the Issuer will purchase on the Final Settlement Date Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase on a prorated basis according to the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase, such that the Issuer purchases an aggregate principal amount of Notes that does not exceed the Maximum Tender Amount.
Assuming acceptance by the Issuer of Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, the Issuer intends to make payment in cash of an amount equal to the Tender Offer Consideration plus Accrued Interest for such accepted Notes on the Final Settlement Date, which is expected to be two business days after the Expiration Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter.
All tendered Notes not accepted will be promptly credited to the Holder’s account with DTC or otherwise returned to the Holder without cost.
The Issuer has the right to amend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time and to increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. If the Tender Offer is terminated at any time, the Notes tendered will be promptly returned to the tendering Holders without compensation or cost to such Holders and will remain outstanding. The Issuer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to not accept any tenders of Notes for any reason. The Issuer and its affiliates reserve the absolute right, in their sole discretion, from time to time to redeem or purchase any Notes that remain outstanding after the Expiration Date through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as they may determine, which may be more or less than the price to be paid pursuant to the Tender Offer.
