(4) | Includes the Early Tender Payment for Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Time. |
The Tender Offer is being made concurrently with an offering by the Company (the "New Notes Offering") of new senior guaranteed notes (the "New Notes"). When considering any potential allocation of New Notes in the New Notes Offering, the Company intends, but is not obligated, to give some degree of preference to those investors who, prior to such allocation, have validly tendered, or have indicated to the Company or the Dealer Managers their firm intention to tender, Notes in the Tender Offer.
The Tender Offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 28, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). In order for holders of Notes to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below) for their Notes, such holders must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) such Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 11, 2025, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Time"). Holders that tender Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below), which does not include the Early Tender Payment (as defined below).
The consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (the "Total Consideration") will be U.S.$1,000.00. The Total Consideration includes an early tender payment (the "Early Tender Payment") of U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is payable in respect of Notes tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase). Holders who tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive consideration (the "Tender Offer Consideration"), equal to (i) the Total Consideration minus (ii) the Early Tender Payment, on the Final Settlement Date (as defined below). The Total Consideration and the Tender Offer Consideration will be payable in cash in U.S. dollars. In addition, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below) for the Notes accepted for purchase (the "Accrued Interest"). The Company will only accept for purchase Notes up to the Maximum Amount.
The Company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn 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.
The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes. However, the Tender Offer is subject to, and conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase in respect of the Tender Offer, including the Financing Condition, as described therein.
Assuming the Company accepts Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and subject to the Maximum Amount and proration, the Company intends to accept for purchase on the Early Settlement Date (the "Early Settlement Date") all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time. Payment in cash of an amount equal to the Total Consideration, plus Accrued Interest, for such accepted Notes will be made on the settlement date (at the Company's option), which is expected to be within three business days after the Early Tender Time, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (the "Early Settlement Date"). The occurrence of the Early Settlement Date with respect to the Tender Offer will be determined at the Company's option, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been either satisfied or waived by the Company. Regardless of whether the Company chooses to exercise its option to have an Early Settlement Date with respect to the Tender Offer, the Company will purchase any remaining Notes that have been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Expiration Time and that the Company chooses to accept for purchase, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been either satisfied or waived by the Company, within four business days following the Expiration Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter (the settlement date of such purchase being referred to as the "Final Settlement Date"), subject to the Maximum Amount and proration.
If the purchase of all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time would cause the Company to accept for purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes in excess of the Maximum Amount, then the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed at the Early Tender Time and, assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Tender Offer, the Company will purchase Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase on a prorated basis according to the principal amount of such Notes, such that the Company purchases an aggregate principal amount of Notes that does not exceed the Maximum Amount. Accordingly, if the Maximum Amount is reached in respect of tenders of Notes made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase.
If all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time would not cause the Company to accept for purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to or in excess of the Maximum Amount, assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Tender Offer, the Company will purchase on the Final Settlement Date, Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase, subject to the Maximum Amount and proration. If the purchase of such Notes would cause the Company to accept for purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes in excess of the Maximum Amount, then the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed at the Expiration Time and, assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Tender Offer, the Company will purchase on the Final Settlement Date, Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase on a prorated basis according to the principal amount of such Notes, such that the Company purchases the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes that does not exceed the Maximum Amount; provided that Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time will have priority in acceptance over Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time. Accordingly, if the Maximum Amount is reached in respect of tenders of Notes made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase
Tendered Notes may be withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 11, 2025, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Withdrawal Deadline"), but not thereafter. The Early Tender Time or Expiration Time can be extended independently of the Withdrawal Deadline.
In addition, to the extent legally permitted to do so, the Company expressly reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, at any time (i) to waive any condition to the Tender Offer, (ii) to amend any of the terms of the Tender Offer, (iii) to terminate the Tender Offer; (iv) to increase or decrease the Maximum Amount, (v) to extend the Withdrawal Deadline, (vi) to extend or amend the Early Tender Time or the Expiration Time, or (vii) to modify the Tender Offer Consideration or the Early Tender Payment, in each case (other than clause (v)) without extending the Withdrawal Deadline or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights of holders subject to applicable law.
