The Offer to Purchase and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents.”  

As of the expiration of the Offer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 12, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”), $326,733,000, or 32.67%, of the $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and delivered (and not validly withdrawn), and an additional $100,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been submitted pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer Documents and remain subject to the delivery of the underlying Notes.
