The 2035 notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such series of notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of special mandatory redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) under certain circumstances if either the Franklin Mountain Energy Acquisition or the Avant Acquisition is not consummated. Additionally, the 2055 notes will also be subject to a special mandatory redemption at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price under certain circumstances if both the Franklin Mountain Energy Acquisition and the Avant Acquisition are not consummated.
