The Tender Offer was made on the terms and conditions described
in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 18, 2023 (as amended and as may
be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to
Purchase”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to
Purchase.
The “Total Consideration” for each $1,000 principal amount of
Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the
Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to
Purchase by reference to the fixed spread over the yield to
maturity of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the
table above and in the Offer to Purchase at 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, today, and includes an early tender premium of $50 per
$1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase.
Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly
withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on June 1, 2023 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) are eligible to
receive the Total Consideration for the Notes accepted for
purchase. Holders of Notes will also receive accrued and unpaid
interest on their Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase
from and including the most recent interest payment date for the
Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.
Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on June 1, 2023.
On June 5, 2023, the Company expects to pay for the Notes that
were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and
that are accepted for purchase.
The purchase of all of the Notes validly tendered and not
validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer would cause the Company to
purchase Notes with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the
Tender Cap. Accordingly, the Notes will be purchased on a pro rata
basis up to the Tender Cap in the manner described in the Offer to
Purchase by reference to the “Proration Factor” specified in the
table above. Since the Tender Offer was fully subscribed as of the
Early Tender Deadline, the Company will not accept for purchase any
Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as Lead Dealer Manager for
the Tender Offer. For additional information regarding the terms of
the Tender Offer, please contact: J.P. Morgan Securities LLC at
