The Early Participation Expiration Date for the Exchange Offer is February 5, 2024, but due to the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes tendered exceeding the Maximum Acceptance Amount, the Company does not expect to accept any additional Old Notes for exchange. However, the Company has received the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to the Old Notes. Consequently, a supplemental indenture to amend the Existing Indenture will become operational on the early settlement date, which is expected to be on February 12, 2024. As a result of Old Notes being tendered in an aggregate amount exceeding the Maximum Acceptance Amount, the Issuer is terminating the Additional New Notes Offering. The Issuer will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance and delivery of the New Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Old Notes surrendered in connection with the Exchange Offer will be retired and canceled and will not be reissued. The Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Central European Time, on February 21, 2024. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made solely pursuant to the Confidential Exchange Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as are permitted under applicable law. No offer, solicitation, purchase, or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, purchase, or sale would be unlawful.
