The table below reflects certain terms of the Tender Offer:

The Company has elected to exercise the Early Settlement Election described in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 31, 2017, relating to the Tender Offer.

Continuing Tender Offer

Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined below) will be eligible to receive only the Late Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the Total Tender Offer Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to the Final Settlement Date (as defined below). The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 25, 2017, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended in the Company's sole discretion, the "Expiration Date").
