All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will receive the applicable consideration set forth in the table above, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the applicable last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below) (“Accrued Interest”).
Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at or prior to
Provided that the conditions to the applicable Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived, and assuming acceptance for purchase by the company of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers, (i) payment for applicable Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Date and purchased in the applicable Tender Offer shall be made on the settlement date that is expected to be the business day following the applicable Early Tender Date, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Early Settlement Date”) and (ii) payment for any applicable Notes validly tendered after the applicable Early Tender Date, but at or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, and purchased in the applicable Tender Offer shall be made on the settlement date that is expected to be the business day following the applicable Expiration Date, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Final Settlement Date” and, together with the related Early Settlement Date, the “Settlement Dates”).
Subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the Tender Cap and
proration, the Notes accepted on any Settlement Date will be accepted in
accordance with their Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table
above, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 3 being
the lowest Acceptance Priority Level, and provided further that Notes
tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted for
purchase with priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date,
but at or prior to the Expiration Date, regardless of the priority of
the series of such later tendered Notes. In addition, no more than
Acceptance for tenders of any Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount for any series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. Acceptance for tenders of the 2023 Notes may also be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the specified series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is greater than the Tender Cap. Furthermore, if the Tender Offers are fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase and there will be no Final Settlement Date.
The company reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or the Tender Cap at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law, which could result in the company purchasing a greater aggregate principal amount of Notes in the Offers. There can be no assurance that the company will increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount or the Tender Cap. If the company increases the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or the Tender Cap, it does not expect to extend the Withdrawal Date, subject to applicable law. Accordingly, Holders should not tender Notes that they do not wish to have purchased in the Offers.
The consummation of the Tender Offers is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. However, the Tender Offers are subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
