The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 23, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Issuers in their sole discretion (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn prior to or at the earlier of (i) the Expiration Time, and (ii) if the Tender Offer is extended, the 10th business day after the commencement of the Tender Offer. Holders of the Notes are urged to read the Tender Offer Documents carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer. The Issuers reserve the right to amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time.

The consideration (the “Purchase Price”) for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread for the Notes specified above plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above, as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT3 series of pages, at 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on July 23, 2024, unless the Tender Offer is extended or earlier terminated by the Issuers. The Issuers expect that the Settlement Date will be on the same date for each of (i) accepted Notes that are validly tendered prior to the Expiration Time and (ii) accepted Notes that are delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Tender Offer Documents. In addition to the Purchase Price, holders of Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date. The “Settlement Date” for the Notes will be promptly following the Expiration Time. It is anticipated that the Settlement Date for the Notes will be July 26, 2024.

The consummation of the Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered for purchase. However, the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the consummation, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion, of an offering of at least $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien notes by the Company and certain other customary conditions.

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, which set forth the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is made only by and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to such document. Subject to applicable law, the Issuers may amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offer. In connection with the Tender Offer, the Issuers retained RBC Capital Markets, LLC as the Dealer Manager.
