King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer, Holders validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) approximately US$341.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes.
As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) as of the Early Tender Date exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount, the Notes will be accepted for purchase by the Issuer with approximately a proration factor of 55.62%. All tendered Notes in excess of the Maximum Tender Amount (giving effect to the above referred proration factor) will be promptly credited to the Holders's account with DTC or otherwise returned to the Holder without cost.
