The Change of Control Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 26, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated. The Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2022, and the Company intends to extend the expiration time to have the purchase date in the Change of Control Offer coincide with the closing of the Merger. If the requisite consents to approve the proposed amendments with respect to a series of Notes are received (and a supplemental indenture to the related indenture giving effect to the proposed amendments is executed), the Company expects to terminate the Change of Control Offer for such series of Notes.
The consummation of the Merger is not conditioned upon, either directly or indirectly, the consummation of the Change of Control Offer.
Holders who do not tender their Notes in the Change of Control Offer, or who tender their Notes in the Change of Control Offer but validly withdraw such Notes, may tender their Notes in the Tender Offer. Holders should note that the Total Consideration is higher than, and the Tender Consideration is lower than, the Change of Control Purchase Price under the Change of Control Offer.
This press release neither constitutes a notice of Change of Control Offer as required by the respective indentures governing the Notes, nor does it constitute an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or a solicitation of consents with respect to, any security. No offer, solicitation or purchase will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or purchase would be unlawful.
Requests for information or additional copies of the change of control offer to purchase, dated June 27, 2022, may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Information and Tender Agent, at (866) 654-2015 or (212) 430-3774 (Banks and Brokers).
