      <div>The Company&#8217;s obligation to complete an Offer with respect to a particular series of Notes validly tendered is conditioned on the satisfaction of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including that the aggregate Total Consideration
        payable for all Notes purchased in the Offers (the &#8220;<font style="font-weight: bold;">Aggregate Consideration Amount</font>&#8221;) not exceed US$1,250,000,000 (the &#8220;<font style="font-weight: bold;">Consideration Cap Amount</font>&#8221;), and on the
        Consideration Cap Amount being sufficient to pay the Total Consideration for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of such series (after accounting for all validly tendered Notes that have a higher Acceptance Priority Level) (the &#8220;<font style="font-weight: bold;">Consideration Cap Condition</font>&#8221;). The Company reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase or waive the Consideration Cap Amount, in its sole discretion subject to applicable law, with or without
        extending the Withdrawal Date. No assurance can be given that the Company will increase or waive the Consideration Cap Amount. If Holders tender more Notes in the Offers than they expect to be accepted for purchase based on the Consideration Cap
        Amount and the Company subsequently accepts more than such Holders expected of such Notes tendered as a result of an increase of the Consideration Cap Amount, such Holders may not be able to withdraw any of their previously tendered Notes.
        Accordingly, Holders should not tender any Notes that they do not wish to be accepted for purchase.</div>
