The Tender Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 18, 2022 (the "Expiration Time"). The Tender Offer was made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated April 21, 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase").
As of the Expiration Time, U.S.$346,181,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing 86.55% of the outstanding Notes, had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer and consents delivered pursuant to the Consent Solicitation (as defined below). The Issuer intends to purchase all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Expiration Time on May 23, 2022 (the "Settlement Date").
In conjunction with receiving the requisite consents for the Notes in connection with its previously announced consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitation") from the holders of the Notes (the "Holders"), a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments described in the Offer to Purchase has been executed, which will become operative on the Settlement Date.
The total consideration payable to Holders for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 4, 2022 (such date and time, the "Early Tender Payment Deadline") and purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will be U.S.$1,028.75 (the "Total Consideration"), plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the Settlement Date. The Total Consideration includes an early tender payment of U.S.$30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Early Tender Payment"), payable only to Holders who validly tendered (and do not withdraw) their Notes and validly deliver (and do not revoke) the related consents to the Proposed Amendments at or prior to the Early Tender Payment Deadline.
Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Payment Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time will not be entitled to receive the Early Tender Payment and will be entitled to receive only the Tender Offer Consideration, as described in the Offer to Purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Settlement Date.
On May 23, 2022, the Issuer intends to issue a notice to redeem the Notes that were not purchased in the Tender Offer on May 26, 2022 at the then-applicable redemption price of 102.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest for the Notes.
