The New Notes are expected to settle on or around the Payment Date.

The Tender Offer was made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the tender offer memorandum dated 22 August 2018 (the Tender Offer Memorandum). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.
