and information agent for the Tender Offers, US$1,253,824,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and not validly withdrawn, consisting of US$72,183,000 aggregate principal amount of the

purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and not validly withdrawn would exceed the Offer Cap, the Company will not accept for purchase
all such Notes that have been tendered. The Company has accepted for purchase all of the 2023 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date and will accept 2022 Notes for purchase on a prorated basis as described in
the Offer to Purchase (as defined below), using a pro ration factor of 38.0799%. The Company will not accept for purchase any 2021 Notes tendered in the Tender Offers. </P>
