According to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender agent and the information agent for the Offer, Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $322,270,000 were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Time. This amount excludes Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,830,000 tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, including the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, dated December 5, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which remain subject to the holders’ performance of the delivery requirements under such procedures.
