AG International has been advised by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Exchange and Information Agent for the Exchange Offer, that as of 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on December 17, 2019 (the "Expiration Date"), U.S.$313,133,000 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes (representing approximately 87.87% of the Old Notes outstanding at the commencement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, with U.S.$459,000 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date.

Eligible Holders who tendered their Old Notes prior to the Early Participation Date received the Total Consideration set forth in the table below, which includes the Early Participation Premium of U.S.$50.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount, plus Accrued Interest. Eligible Holders who validly tendered Old Notes after the Early Participation Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date were not eligible to receive the Early Participation Premium and were therefore only eligible to receive the Exchange Offer Consideration of U.S.$975.00 for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered, plus Accrued Interest.
