Upon the settlement of the Exchange Offer, holders of Restricted Notes that have been accepted for exchange by Rogers will receive a like principal amount of Exchange Notes of the applicable series. Rogers expects that such settlement will occur on or about July 27, 2023.

The terms of the Exchange Notes to be issued upon the settlement of the Exchange Offer are substantially identical to the terms of the corresponding series of Restricted Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions applicable to the Restricted Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will represent the same debt as the Restricted Notes, and Rogers will issue the Exchange Notes under the same indenture that governs the applicable series of Restricted Notes.

The Exchange Offer was made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated June 20, 2023 (the “Prospectus”) and related letter of transmittal. This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein.
