The Issuer will also pay Accrued Interest in respect of those

Results of the Proposals
On 9 July 2021, the Issuer announced that the meetings (the
Meetings) convened for the Noteholders to consider the Proposals on
9 July 2021 were adjourned through lack of quorum, and that
adjourned Meetings (the Adjourned Meetings) would be convened to
consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposals.
The Adjourned Meetings were held earlier today, 26 July 2021,
and NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to Noteholders that, in respect of each
Series, the quorum required for the relevant Extraordinary
Resolution to be considered at the relevant Adjourned Meeting was
not present and, accordingly, each Adjourned Meeting was dissolved
and so the Proposals will not be implemented by the Issuer.
Other Purchases of Notes
The Issuer and its affiliates may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, continue to acquire Notes after settlement of the
Offers on the Settlement Date, including through open market
purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers,
exchange offers or otherwise. Such purchases may be on such terms
and at such prices as they may determine, which may be more or less
than the prices to be paid pursuant to the Offers and could be for
cash or other consideration or otherwise on terms more or less
favourable than those contemplated by the Offers.
