(2) Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and that are accepted for purchase pursuant to the
Tender Offer.
(3) In addition to payment of the applicable consideration, the Company will also pay accrued
and unpaid interest on each of the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer
up to, but excluding, the applicable payment date in respect of such Notes.
(4) Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the
Expiration Time but after the Early Tender Deadline that are accepted for purchase pursuant
to the Tender Offer.
(5) As such amount may be changed by the Company in its sole discretion.
The Tender Offer is being made as part of the Company's
continuing capital management programme and to further proactively
optimize its liability structure.
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer,
the Company is offering to purchase for cash an aggregate principal
amount of the Notes up to the Maximum Purchase Amount. The Company
will determine, in its sole discretion, the aggregate principal
amount of Notes (if any) that it will accept for purchase pursuant
to the Tender Offer, which will be announced following the
Expiration Time.
It is the current intention of the Company that the Maximum
Purchase Amount will be U.S.$200,000,000, although the Company
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept significantly
more than or significantly less than such amount, or to accept none
of such Notes, for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, and
reference to the Maximum Purchase Amount in this Tender Offer
should be construed accordingly.
The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reject or
pro-rate any Notes validly tendered or withdraw its invitation to
tender for the Notes at any time before any acceptance by it of the
Tender Offer.
If the Company elects to accept for purchase the Notes validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender
Deadline pursuant to the Tender Offer, and the principal amount of
such Notes exceeds the Maximum Purchase Amount, then such valid
tenders of the Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis so that
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase
equals the Maximum Purchase Amount.
If the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered at or
before the Early Tender Deadline is less than the Maximum Purchase
Amount, the Company will accept all such valid tenders of the Notes
at or before the Early Tender Deadline and such Notes will not be
subject to possible pro ration. After the Early Tender Deadline but
at or before the Expiration Time, if the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes validly tendered exceeds the Maximum Purchase Amount,
such Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline but at
or before the Expiration Time will be accepted on a pro rata basis
so that the aggregate principal amount of the Notes accepted for
purchase equals the Maximum Purchase Amount.
Any Notes tendered may be validly withdrawn at or before 5:00
P.M., New York City time, on June 15, 2022 (the "Withdrawal
Deadline"), but not thereafter, by following the procedures
described in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Tenders of Notes may not
be withdrawn after the Withdrawal Deadline, unless mandated by
applicable law. If the Tender Offer is terminated without Notes
being purchased, any Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer
will be returned promptly, and neither the Early Tender Offer
Consideration nor the Tender Offer Consideration, as the case may
be, will be paid or become payable.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer being
satisfied or waived, the Company reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, on any date following the Early Tender Deadline but at
or prior to the Expiration Time (the "Early Acceptance Date"), to
accept for purchase the Notes validly tendered at or before the
Early Tender Deadline and not validly withdrawn at or before the
Withdrawal Deadline. If the Company elects to exercise this option,
the Company will promptly pay the Early Tender Offer Consideration
for the Notes accepted for purchase at the Early Acceptance Date on
a date (the "Early Payment Date") which is expected to be June 17,
2022, or two business days after the Early Tender Deadline, but is
subject to change without notice. Also, on the Early Payment Date,
if any, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest, and
additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the Early Payment
Date, on Notes accepted for purchase at the Early Acceptance
Date.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer being
satisfied or waived, and to its right, in its sole discretion, to
extend, amend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer, the Company
will, after the Expiration Time (the "Final Acceptance Date"),
accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered at or before the
Expiration Time and not validly withdrawn at or before the
Withdrawal Deadline (or if the Company has exercised its early
purchase option described above, all Notes validly tendered after
the Early Tender Deadline and at or before the Expiration Time).
The Company will promptly pay the Tender Offer Consideration (and,
if the Company has not exercised its early purchase option
described above, the Early Tender Offer Consideration, as
applicable) for Notes accepted for purchase at the Final Acceptance
Date on a date (the "Final Payment Date") which is expected to be
July 5, 2022, or two business days following the Expiration Time.
Also, on the Final Payment Date, the Company will pay accrued and
unpaid interest, and additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding,
the Final Payment Date, on Notes accepted for purchase at the Final
Acceptance Date.
The Company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for,
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the
Tender Offer, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number
of conditions, including the General Conditions (as defined in the
Tender Offer Memorandum). The Company reserves the right, in its
sole discretion but subject to applicable law, to waive any of the
conditions of the Tender Offer, in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion but
subject to applicable law, to (1) extend, terminate or withdraw the
Tender Offer at any time and (2) otherwise amend the Tender Offer
in any respect, without extending the Withdrawal Deadline. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Company may, in its sole discretion but
subject to applicable law, extend the Withdrawal Deadline. The
foregoing rights are in addition to the right to delay acceptance
for purchase of Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer or the
payment for Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender
Offer in order to comply with any applicable law, subject to Rule
14e-1(c) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), which requires that the Company pay the
consideration offered or return the deposited Notes promptly after
the termination or withdrawal of the Tender Offer.
The results of the Tender Offer are expected to be announced as
promptly as practicable following the Early Tender Deadline and the
Expiration Time, as applicable. The Company will announce the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase
pursuant to the Tender Offer at each applicable Payment Date and
any Scaling Factor (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum) (if
applicable) following the Expiration Time. Such information will be
notified to Holders and the Trustee and shall, absent manifest
error, be final and binding on the Company and the Holders.
