DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE OR TRANSMISSION TO A FACSIMILE NUMBER OTHER THAN THE ONE LISTED ABOVE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE VALID DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.

The instructions set forth in this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) should be read carefully before this Letter of Transmittal is completed. The undersigned acknowledges that he, she or it has received the prospectus dated                     , 2020, and any amendments or supplements thereto (the “Prospectus”), of Lamar Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and this Letter of Transmittal, which together constitute the Company’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange an aggregate principal amount of (i) up to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3 3/4% Senior Notes due 2028, which have been registered under the the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “2028 Exchange Notes”), for up to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 3 3/4% Senior Notes due 2028, which have not been so registered (the “2028 Original Notes”, and together with the 2028 Exchange Notes, the “2028 Notes”), (ii) up to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4 7/8% Senior Notes due 2029, which have been registered under the Securities Act (the “2029 Exchange Notes”), for up to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 4 7/8% Senior Notes due 2029, which have not been so registered (the “2029 Original Notes”, and together with the 2029 Exchange Notes, the “2029 Notes”) and (iii) up to $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4% Senior Notes due 2030, which have been registered under the Securities Act (the “2030 Exchange Notes, and together with the 2028 Exchange Notes and the 2029 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”), for up to $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 4% Senior Notes due 2030, which have not been so registered (the “2030 Original Notes”, and together with the 2030 Exchange Notes, the “2030 Notes”). The 2028 Original Notes, the 2029 Original Notes and the 2030 Original Notes shall be referred to herein as the “Original Notes”. Recipients of the Prospectus should read the requirements described in the Prospectus with respect to eligibility to participate in the Exchange Offer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus. In the event of any conflict between the Letter of Transmittal and the Prospectus, the Prospectus shall govern.

Please read this entire letter of transmittal carefully before completing.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by a holder of Original Notes if:

• certificates representing tendered Original Notes are to be forwarded herewith; or

• a tender is made pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

Holders that are tendering by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) can effect the tender through the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) for which the Exchange Offer will be eligible. DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offer must transmit their acceptance to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the exchange agent’s account at DTC. DTC will then send an agent’s message forming part of a book-entry transfer in which the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal (an “Agent’s Message”) to the exchange agent for its acceptance. DELIVERY OF THE AGENT’S MESSAGE BY DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM WILL SATISFY THE TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER AS TO EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY THE PARTICIPANT IDENTIFIED IN THE AGENT’S MESSAGE. DTC PARTICIPANTS MAY ALSO ACCEPT THE EXCHANGE OFFER BY SUBMITTING A NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY THROUGH ATOP.

In order to complete this Letter of Transmittal properly, a holder of Original Notes must:

• complete the box entitled, “Description of Original Notes Tendered”;

• if appropriate, provide the information relating to guaranteed delivery, Special Issuance Instructions and Special Delivery Instructions;

• sign the Letter of Transmittal by completing the box entitled “Sign Here To Tender Your Original Notes in the Exchange Offer”; and

• complete IRS Form W-9.

Each holder of Original Notes should carefully read the detailed instructions below prior to completing the Letter of Transmittal.

Holders of Original Notes who desire to tender their Original Notes for exchange and whose Original Notes are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their Original Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other documents required hereby to the exchange agent or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer on or prior to the Expiration Date, must tender the Original Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.” See Instruction 2 to this Letter of Transmittal. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. In order to ensure participation in the Exchange Offer, Original Notes must be properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date.

Holders of Original Notes who wish to tender their Original Notes for exchange must complete columns (1) and (2) in the box below entitled “Description of Original Notes Tendered,” and sign the box below entitled “Sign Here To Tender Your Original Notes in the Exchange Offer.” If only those columns are completed, such holder of Original Notes will have tendered for exchange all Original Notes listed in column (2) below. If the holder of Original Notes wishes to tender for exchange less than all of such Original Notes, column (3) must be completed in full. In such case, such holder of Original Notes should refer to Instruction 5.

The Exchange Offer may be extended, terminated or amended, as provided in the Prospectus. During any such extension of the Exchange Offer, all Original Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain subject to the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2020, unless extended by the Company, in its sole discretion.

Only registered holders are entitled to tender their Original Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant and whose name appears on a security position listing as the record owner of the Original Notes and who wishes to make book-entry delivery of Original Notes as described above must complete and execute a participant’s letter (which will be distributed to participants by DTC) instructing DTC’s nominee to tender such Original Notes for exchange. Persons who are beneficial owners of Original Notes but are not registered holders and who seek to tender Original Notes should:

• contact the registered holder of such Original Notes and instruct such registered holder to tender on his, her or its behalf;

• obtain and include with this Letter of Transmittal, Original Notes properly endorsed for transfer by the registered holder or accompanied by a properly completed bond power from the registered holder, with signatures on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a firm that is a member of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office in the United States or certain other eligible guarantors (each, an “Eligible Institution”); or

• effect a record transfer of such Original Notes from the registered holder to such beneficial owner and comply with the requirements applicable to registered holders for tendering Original Notes prior to the Expiration Date.

See the section entitled “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering” in the Prospectus.

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company for exchange the Original Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for purchase of the Original Notes tendered herewith, the undersigned hereby tenders, assigns, transfers and exchanges to the Company all right, title and interest in and to all such Original Notes tendered for exchange hereby.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the exchange agent as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the exchange agent also acts as agent of the Company) with respect to such Original Notes, with full power of substitution and resubstitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to:

• deliver certificates representing such Original Notes, or transfer ownership of such Original Notes on the account books maintained by DTC, together, in each such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to the Company;

• present and deliver such Original Notes for transfer on the books of the Company; and

• receive all benefits or otherwise exercise all rights and incidents of beneficial ownership of such Original Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.

The undersigned represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Original Notes and to acquire Exchange Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Original Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title to the tendered Original Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the exchange agent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of tendered Original Notes or transfer ownership of such Original Notes on the account books maintained by the book-entry transfer facility.

By tendering, each holder of Original Notes represents that the Exchange Notes acquired in the exchange will be obtained in the ordinary course of such holder’s business, that such holder has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes, that such holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and that such holder is not participating in, and does not intend to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes. The undersigned also acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made by the Company based upon the Company’s understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that: (i) such holders are not “affiliates” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (ii) such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder’s business; and (iii) such holders are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes. However, the staff of the Commission has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a request for a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the Commission would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. Any broker-dealer and any holder who has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of Exchange Notes may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission. Consequently, these holders must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.

If the undersigned is a broker-dealer, it acknowledges that the Commission considers broker-dealers that acquired Original Notes directly from the Company, but not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, to be making a distribution of the Exchange Notes. If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Notes. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy, and personal and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. Original Notes properly tendered may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of this Letter of Transmittal.

The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions, each of which may be waived or modified by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, as described in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The undersigned recognizes that as a result of such conditions, the Company may not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any of the Original Notes properly tendered hereby. In such event, the tendered Original Notes not accepted for exchange will be returned to the undersigned without cost to the undersigned at the address shown below the undersigned’s signature(s) unless otherwise indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions” below.

Unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” below, please issue the Exchange Notes in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry delivery of Original Notes, please credit the book-entry account indicated above maintained at DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” below, please send the Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing Original Notes for any portion of any Original Notes not exchanged) to the undersigned at the address(es) shown above in the box entitled “Description of Original Notes Tendered.” Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” please mail any certificates representing Original Notes not tendered or not accepted for exchange (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es) of the holder(s) appearing under “Description of Original Notes Tendered.” The undersigned recognizes that the Company does not have any obligation pursuant to the Special Issuance Instructions, to transfer any Original Notes from the name of the holder thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of the Original Notes so tendered or if such transfer would not be in compliance with any transfer restrictions applicable to such Original Notes.

INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Exchange Offer

1. Guarantee of Signatures.    Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed if the Original Notes tendered hereby are tendered:

• by the registered holder(s) of Original Notes thereof (including any participant in DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream whose name appears in a security position listing as the owner of the Original Notes), unless such holder has completed either the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” above; or

• for the account of a firm that is an Eligible Institution.

In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. An Eligible Institution is defined as a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an institution that is a recognized member in good standing of a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program recognized by the exchange agent (i.e., the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program, the Stock Exchange’s Medallion Program and the New York Stock Exchange’s Medallion Signature Program).

Any beneficial owner of Original Notes who is not the registered holder (and is not a Euroclear, Clearstream or DTC Participant), and who seeks to tender Original Notes for exchange should:

• contact the registered holder(s) of such Original Notes and instruct such registered holder(s) to tender on such beneficial owner’s behalf;

• obtain and include with this Letter of Transmittal, Original Notes properly endorsed for transfer by the registered holder(s) or accompanied by a properly completed bond power from the registered holder(s) with signatures on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by an Eligible Institution; or

• effect a record transfer of such Original Notes from the registered holder(s) to such beneficial owner and comply with the requirements applicable to registered holder(s) for tendering Original Notes for exchange prior to the Expiration Date. See Instruction 6.

2. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Certificates for Original Notes or Book-Entry Confirmations; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. A holder of Original Notes may tender the same by (i) properly completing and signing this Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile thereof (all references in the Prospectus to the Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed to include a facsimile thereof) and delivering the same, together with the certificate or certificates, if applicable, representing the Original Notes being tendered and any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, to the exchange agent at its address set forth above on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (ii) complying with the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, or (iii) complying with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. The minimum permitted tender is $2,000. Original Notes tendered hereby must be in denominations of principal, or face, amount of $1,000 at maturity and any integral multiple thereof.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by registered holder(s) if certificates representing Original Notes are to be forwarded herewith. All physically delivered Original Notes, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) and any other required documents, must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Delivery of the documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, THE ORIGINAL NOTES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, OR BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF AN AGENT’S MESSAGE BY OR ON BEHALF OF A DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM PARTICIPANT, ARE AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING HOLDERS. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT HOLDERS USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, HOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED OR CONFIRMED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. NO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR

ORIGINAL NOTES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE COMPANY, DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM. HOLDERS MAY REQUEST THEIR RESPECTIVE BROKERS, DEALERS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES OR NOMINEES TO EFFECT THE TENDERS FOR SUCH HOLDERS. SEE “THE EXCHANGE OFFER” SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS.

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the Original Notes at DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream for purposes of the Exchange Offer promptly after the date of the Prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of Original Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) procedures for such transfer. Any participant in Euroclear or Clearstream may make book-entry delivery of Original Notes by causing Euroclear or Clearstream to transfer such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account in accordance with established Euroclear or Clearstream procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of Original Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, an Agent’s Message (as defined in the next paragraph) in connection with a book-entry transfer and any other required documents, must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address specified on the cover page of this Letter of Transmittal on or prior to the Expiration Date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

A Holder may tender Original Notes that are held through DTC by transmitting its acceptance through DTC’s ATOP, for which the transaction will be eligible, and DTC will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an Agent’s Message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream has received an express acknowledgment from the participant tendering the Original Notes that such participant has received the Letter of Transmittal and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal, and that the Company may enforce such agreement against such participant. Delivery of an Agent’s Message will also constitute an acknowledgment from the tendering DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream participant that the representations and warranties set forth in this Letter of Transmittal are true and correct.

Holders of Original Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream are required to use book-entry transfer pursuant to the standard operating procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream to accept the Exchange Offer and to tender their Original Notes. A computer-generated message must be transmitted to Euroclear or Clearstream in lieu of a Letter of Transmittal, in order to tender the Original Notes in the Exchange Offer.

DELIVERY OF THE AGENT’S MESSAGE BY DTC, EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM WILL SATISFY THE TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER AS TO EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY THE PARTICIPANT IDENTIFIED IN THE AGENT’S MESSAGE. DTC PARTICIPANTS MAY ALSO ACCEPT THE EXCHANGE OFFER BY SUBMITTING A NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY THROUGH ATOP.

A holder who desires to tender Original Notes for exchange, but

• the certificates representing the holder’s Original Notes are not immediately available;

• time will not permit this Letter of Transmittal, certificates representing Original Notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent prior to the Expiration Date; or

• the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed prior to the Expiration Date;

may tender their Original Notes for exchange in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

Pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures:

(a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, as defined above;

(b) prior to the Expiration Date, the exchange agent must have received from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by facsimile, mail or hand delivery, or otherwise in accordance with DTC procedures) substantially in the form provided by the Company setting forth the name(s) and address(es) of the registered holder(s) of such Original Notes, the certificate number(s) and the principal amount of Original Notes being tendered for exchange and stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three (3) New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, a properly completed and duly executed

Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, together with certificates representing the Original Notes (or confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account with DTC and an Agent’s Message) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto, will be deposited by such Eligible Institution with the exchange agent; and

(c) this Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile thereof, properly completed together with duly executed certificates for all physically delivered Original Notes in proper form for transfer (or confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account with DTC as described above) and all other required documents must be received by the exchange agent within three (3) New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration of the exchange offer.

All tendering holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Original Notes for exchange.

3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in the box entitled “Description of Original Notes Tendered” above is inadequate, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of Original Notes tendered should be listed on a separate signed schedule affixed hereto.

4. Withdrawal of Tenders. A tender of Original Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

For a withdrawal to be effective:

• the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal, which may be by telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, at the address set forth above; or

• for DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream participants, holders must comply with their respective standard operating procedures for electronic tenders and the exchange agent must receive an electronic notice of withdrawal from DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

• specify the name of the person having tendered the Original Notes to be withdrawn (the “Depositor”);

• identify the Original Notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or numbers and principal amount of such Original Notes);

• include a statement that the Depositor is withdrawing his election to have such Original Notes exchanged;

• be signed by the Depositor in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such Original Notes were tendered or as otherwise described above (including any required signature guarantees);

• specify the name in which any such Original Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the Depositor; and

• if the Original Notes have been tendered under the book-entry procedures, specify the name and number of the participant’s account at DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream to be credited, if different from that of the Depositor.

The exchange agent will return the properly withdrawn Original Notes without cost to the holder promptly following receipt of notice of withdrawal. All questions as to the validity of notices of withdrawals, including time of receipt, will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties.

Any Original Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any Original Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder (or, in the case of Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described above, such Original Notes will be credited to an account with such book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder) promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Original Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering” in the Prospectus at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

5. Partial Tenders (Not Applicable To Holders Of Original Notes Who Tender By Book-Entry Transfer). The minimum permitted tender is $2,000. Tenders of Original Notes will be accepted only in integral multiples of $1,000 principal, or face, amount at maturity. If a tender for exchange is to be made with respect to less than the entire principal, or face, amount of any Original Notes, fill in the principal amount of Original Notes which are tendered for exchange in column (3) of the box entitled “Description of Original Notes Tendered,” as more fully described in the footnotes thereto. In the case of a partial tender by a holder, a new certificate, for the remainder of the principal, or face, amount of the Original Notes, will be sent to the holder of Original Notes (unless otherwise indicated in the boxes entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” above) promptly after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

6. Signatures on This Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Original Notes tendered for exchange hereby, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

If any of the Original Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any tendered Original Notes are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal and any necessary or required documents as there are names in which certificates are held.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and submit proper evidence of their authority to so act satisfactory to the Company, unless waived by the Company, in its sole discretion.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Original Notes listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate bond powers are required unless certificates for Original Notes not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or returned in the name of a person other than the registered holder(s) thereof. Signatures on such certificates must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (unless signed by an Eligible Institution).

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Original Notes, the certificates representing such Original Notes must be properly endorsed for transfer by the registered holder or be accompanied by a properly completed bond power from the registered holder, in either case signed by such registered holder(s) exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) of the Original Notes appear(s) on the certificates. Signatures on the endorsement or bond power must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (unless signed by an Eligible Institution).

7. Transfer Taxes. Except as set forth in this Instruction 7, the Company will pay or cause to be paid any transfer taxes applicable to the exchange of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Original Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

8. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions. If the Exchange Notes are to be issued or if any Original Notes not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or sent to a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. In the case of the issuance in a different name, the employer identification or social security number of the person named must also be indicated. Holders tendering Original Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Original Notes not accepted for exchange be credited to such account maintained at DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream as such holder may designate.

9. Irregularities. All questions as to the forms of all documents and the validity of (including time of receipt) and acceptance of the tenders and withdrawals of Original Notes will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will

not be considered valid. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Original Notes that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which would, in its sole opinion, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive, in its sole discretion, any defects or irregularities as to any particular Original Notes. The Company’s interpretations of the form and procedures for tendering Original Notes in the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding. Any defect or irregularity in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within such time as the Company determines, unless waived by the Company, in its sole discretion. Tenders of Original Notes shall not be deemed to have been made until all defects or irregularities have been waived by the Company or cured. Neither the Company, the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Original Notes, or will incur any liability to registered holders of Original Notes for failure to give such notice.

10. Waiver of Conditions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to waive, in its sole discretion, any and all conditions to the Exchange Offer as described under “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer” in the Prospectus, and accept for exchange any Original Notes tendered.

11. Tax Identification Number and Backup Withholding. Federal income tax law generally requires that a tendering holder whose Original Notes are accepted for exchange or such holder’s assignee (in either case, the “Payee”), provide the Company (as payor) with such Payee’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on an IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. Where the Payee is an individual, the Payee’s TIN is his or her social security number. If the Company is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such Payee may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and backup withholding on all reportable payments made after the exchange. The backup withholding rate is 24%. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

To prevent backup withholding, each Payee must provide its correct TIN by completing the “IRS Form W-9” (attached), certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such Payee is awaiting a TIN) and that:

• the Payee is exempt from backup withholding;

• the Payee has not been notified by the IRS that such Payee is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends; or

• the IRS has notified the Payee that such Payee is no longer subject to backup withholding.

If the Payee does not have a TIN, such Payee should consult the attached instructions for IRS Form W-9 (the “W-9 Instructions”) for instructions on applying for a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the IRS Form W-9, and sign and date the IRS Form W-9 and complete the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth herein. If the Payee writes “Applied For” on the IRS Form W-9, backup withholding will nevertheless apply to all reportable payments made to such Payee. If the Payee furnishes its TIN to the Company within 60 days, however, any amounts so withheld shall be refunded to such Payee. If, however, the Payee has not provided the Company with its TIN within such 60-day period, the Company will remit such previously retained amounts to the IRS as backup withholding. Note: Writing “Applied For” on the form means that the Payee has already applied for a TIN or that such Payee intends to apply for one in the near future.

If Original Notes are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 Instructions for information on which TIN to report.

Certain Payees (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements (“Exempt Payees”). To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, Exempt Payees must still complete the IRS Form W-9, complete the exemptions box on line 4, and sign and date the form. See the W-9 Instructions for additional instructions. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to qualify as exempt, such person must submit a completed appropriate Form W-8, which can be obtained from the exchange agent.

12. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Original Notes. Any holder whose Original Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the exchange agent at the address or telephone number set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal for further instructions.

13. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Prospectus, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and the Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Form W-9 may be directed to the exchange agent at its address set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, TOGETHER WITH CERTIFICATES FOR TENDERED ORIGINAL NOTES, ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

Purpose of Form An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following. Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid) Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds) Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds) Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers) Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions) Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions) Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition) Form 1099-C (canceled debt) Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property) Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN. If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later. Cat. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 2 By signing the filled-out form, you: 1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), 2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or 3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and 4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information. Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; An estate (other than a foreign estate); or A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7). Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income. In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States. In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity; In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items. 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233. Backup Withholding What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: 1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, 2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details), 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or 5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only). Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier. What is FATCA Reporting? The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Updating Your Information You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 3 Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Specific Instructions Line 1 You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return. If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9. a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name. Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application. b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2. c.

Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2. e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN. Line 2 If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

Therefore, if you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements. A requester may indicate that a code is not required by providing you with a Form W-9 with “Not Applicable” (or any similar indication) written or printed on the line for a FATCA exemption code.

Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days. If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester. Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8. Part II. Certification To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9.
