\n

\n(2) Total consideration for each Existing Group Tender Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by the applicable Offeror. Excludes Accrued Interest, which will be paid on Existing Group Tender Notes accepted for purchase by the applicable Offeror as described in the Statement.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\n(3) Includes the Early Tender Premium for Existing Group Tender Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by the applicable Offeror.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nIn addition to the applicable Total Consideration, accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date, will be paid by the applicable Offeror in same day funds on the Early Settlement Date or Final Settlement Date, as applicable, on all validly tendered Existing Group Tender Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers.<\/p>\n

\nThe Tender Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. ET, on June 4, 2026 unless extended, earlier expired or terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, earlier expired or terminated with respect to one or more series of Existing Group Tender Notes, the \u201cExpiration Date\u201d). The Final Settlement Date is currently expected to occur on June 8, 2026. No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Date. Because the aggregate purchase price of Existing Group Tender Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap, the Offerors do not expect to accept any further tenders of Notes.<\/p>\n
