LLC , as representative of the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), relating to the sale by the Issuers of $1,200 million in aggregate principal amount of their 6.125% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Issuers and the Guarantors together with customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities. The offering of the Notes (the “Notes Offering”) is expected to close on or about June 17, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
