(1) Subject to increase in the Company’s sole discretion. |
(2) All Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Accrued Interest in addition to their Tender Offer Consideration. |
(3) For each €1,000 principal amount of Euro Notes or each $1,000 principal amount of Dollar Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time (as defined below) and accepted for purchase. |
(4) The Total Consideration (as defined below) for each series of Notes is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium (as defined below). All Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Accrued Interest in addition to their Total Consideration. |
The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on September 13, 2022 (unless the Offer is extended or terminated) (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). To be eligible to receive the “Total Consideration” for a series of Notes, which includes an early tender premium of €50.00 per €1,000 principal amount of Euro Notes or $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Dollar Notes, accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer (the “Early Tender Premium”), Holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on August 29, 2022 (unless extended or terminated) (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Time”). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive only the Tender Offer Consideration, which is an amount equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Premium. Holders who tender their Notes prior to the Early Tender Time may withdraw such Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on August 29, 2022 (unless extended or terminated) (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Withdrawal Time”).
In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest (“Accrued Interest”) on such Notes, rounded to the nearest cent per €1,000 principal amount of Euro Notes or the nearest cent per $1,000 principal amount of Dollar Notes, from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date (each as defined below), as applicable.
Notes accepted for purchase will be accepted in accordance with their Acceptance Priority Levels (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 2 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level), subject to the limitations that (i) the overall aggregate purchase price to be paid in the Offer will not exceed the Total Maximum Amount and (ii) the aggregate purchase price to be paid for the Dollar Notes will not exceed the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount (in each case, exclusive of Accrued Interest).
Subject to any increase or decrease to the Total Maximum Amount or the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount, as applicable, if on the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date, there would be sufficient funds to purchase some, but not all, of the unpurchased tendered Notes in any Acceptance Priority Level without exceeding the Total Maximum Amount or the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount, as applicable, the Company will accept for payment such tendered Notes on a prorated basis, with the proration factor for such Acceptance Priority Level depending on the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Acceptance Priority Level validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Furthermore, (i) if the aggregate purchase price of all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Time exceeds the Total Maximum Amount, Holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase regardless of the Acceptance Priority Level of such Notes unless the Company increases the Total Maximum Amount and (ii) if the aggregate purchase price of all Dollar Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Time exceeds the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount, Holders who validly tender Dollar Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase unless the Company increases the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount.
The Company expressly reserves the right, but is not obligated, to increase or decrease the Total Maximum Amount or the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount in its sole discretion without extending the Early Tender Time, the Expiration Time, or the Withdrawal Time, or otherwise providing withdrawal rights, subject to applicable law.
The Company will accept Notes for purchase only in Authorized Denominations, as further described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company intends to fund the Offer with cash on hand.
Any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and purchased pursuant to the Offer will be paid for in immediately available funds on the Early Settlement Date, which, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, is expected to occur promptly following the Early Tender Time, and, assuming the Offer is not extended or terminated, is expected to be on or about August 31, 2022.
Any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time but after the Early Tender Time and purchased pursuant to the Offer will be paid for in immediately available funds on the Final Settlement Date, which, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, is expected to occur promptly following the Expiration Time, and, assuming the Offer is not extended or terminated, is expected to be on or about September 15, 2022.
Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, the Company expressly reserves the right to accept for purchase and pay for up to the Total Maximum Amount (subject to the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount), exclusive of Accrued Interest, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time; extend each of the Early Tender Time and the Expiration Time to a later date and time as announced by the Company; increase or decrease the Total Maximum Amount or the Dollar Notes Maximum Amount; waive any or all conditions of the Offer; or terminate, re-open or amend the Offer.
To the extent permitted by applicable law and whether or not the Offer is consummated, the Company and its affiliates may from time to time following the Expiration Time acquire any Notes that remain outstanding through one or more additional tender offers, exchange offers, open market purchases, redemptions or otherwise, on terms that may be more or less favorable to Holders of Notes than the terms of the Offer. Any future purchases by the Company or its affiliates will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) the Company or its affiliates will choose to pursue in the future.
