The maximum subcap applicable to the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) of $100,000,000 (the “2025 Maximum SubCap”) represents the maximum aggregate principal amount in respect of the 2025 Notes being purchased in the 2025 Tender Offer.

(2)

 

Subject to the Maximum Aggregate Cap and proration, the principal amount of Notes being purchased in each Tender Offer has been determined in accordance with the applicable acceptance priority level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column provided that the Company will not accept 2025 Notes in an amount that exceeds the 2025 Maximum SubCap.

(3)

 

Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, which will also be payable as provided herein.

(4)

 

Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).

 

All conditions were satisfied or waived by the Company at the Early Tender Date. The Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on August 16, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Company intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and accepted Notes on the Early Settlement Date with available cash on hand.

As the aggregate purchase price of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date exceeded the Maximum Aggregate Cap, no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. As described in the Offer to Purchase, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted based on the acceptance priority levels, and with respect to the 2025 Notes, the 2025 Maximum SubCap, noted in the table above.

As the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the 2025 Maximum SubCap, the 2025 Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis and will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 61.6%. As the aggregate purchase price of the 2025 Notes and the 6.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Cap, no validly tendered 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 will be accepted for purchase, and the 2028 Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis and will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 93.3%. Notes tendered and not purchased on the Early Settlement Date will be returned to holders promptly after the Early Settlement Date. The consideration to be paid for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer is the amount set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration.” The amounts set forth in the table above under “Total Consideration” include an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable “Total Consideration” set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration,” which includes the Early Tender Premium. All holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued interest from, and including, the most recent applicable interest payment date preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date, if and when such Notes are accepted for payment.
