(2) | The Tender Caps apply to the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) of the applicable series of Notes. |
(3) | The Company has elected to increase the Tender Cap of the 6.000% Notes due 2024 by $19,713,040, which represents the sum of the difference between the aggregate purchase price of each of the 6.625% Notes due 2029 and the 6.500% Notes due 2023 and the applicable Tender Cap in respect of such series of Notes. |
Holders who validly tendered and did not withdraw Notes by the Early Tender Date will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration as set forth in the applicable table above. The settlement for the Notes accepted for purchase by the Purchasers is currently expected to occur on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 (the Early Settlement Date).
Based on the application of the 2020-2021 Acceptance Priority Levels and the amended Third-Party Maximum Tender Payment, the Third-Party Purchasers currently expect that they will accept for purchase $111,607,000 principal amount of 2020-2021 Notes tendered with 2020-2021 Acceptance Priority Level 1 (approximately 53% of tendered 2020-2021 Notes for such series). No tendered 2020-2021 Notes with 2020-2021 Acceptance Priority Level 2 will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date. In addition, holders of 2020-2021 Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such 2020-2021 Notes from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. Since the amended Third-Party Maximum Tender Payment has been reached, no 2020-2021 Notes tendered but not purchased on the Early Tender Date or tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on a date following the Expiration Date (as defined below) (the Final Settlement Date).
Based on the application of the 2023-2029 Acceptance Priority Levels, the amended Tender Caps and the Company Maximum Tender Payment, the Company currently expects that it will accept for purchase all 2023-2029 Notes tendered with 2023-2029 Acceptance Priority Level 1, $59,405,000 principal amount of 2023-2029 Notes tendered with 2023-2029 Acceptance Priority Level 2 (approximately 40% of tendered 2023-2029 Notes for such series) and $101,748,000 principal amount of 2023-2029 Notes tendered with 2023-2029 Acceptance Priority Level 3 (approximately 40% of tendered 2023-2029 Notes for such series). This reflects the Companys election to increase the Tender Cap of the 6.000% Notes due 2024 by $19,713,040, which represents the sum of the difference between the aggregate purchase price of each of the 6.625% Notes due 2029 and the 6.500% Notes due 2023 and the applicable Tender Cap in respect of such series of Notes. In addition, holders of 2023-2029 Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. Since the Company Maximum Tender Payment has been reached, no 2023-2029 Notes tendered but not purchased on the Early Tender Date or tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Final Settlement Date.
The previously announced date for the expiration of withdrawal rights for the Offers has passed and has not been extended. Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers may no longer be withdrawn, except as required by law.
The Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 19, 2017 (the Expiration Date), unless extended or earlier terminated.
