(1) As reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the Tender Offer.

Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase is subject to the Maximum Tender Amount. The amounts of each series of Notes that will be accepted for purchase by the Company will be determined in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table above, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 4 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level, and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase so as not to exceed the Maximum Tender Amount.

The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2017 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”) has passed and, accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

The Company expects to determine the pricing terms for the Tender Offer at 11 a.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2017. The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2017. However, because holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline for which the aggregate principal amount exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the Company will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.

Notes not accepted for purchase by the Company in the Tender Offer will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company or otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.

The Company’s obligation to accept for purchase, and pay for, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
