cash up to $333,796,000 aggregate principal amount (the "Capped Maximum Amount") of its 8.750%
notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). The Capped Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated March 30, 2026 (the "Offer to Purchase"). The
Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2026 (such date and time, the "Early Tender Date"),
according to information provided to Kroll Issuer Services Limited, the tender agent for the Capped

(1)      Principal amount outstanding as of the Commencement Date.
(2)      Does not include Accrued Interest, which will also be payable as provided herein.
(3)      Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).
(4)      Principal amount expected to be accepted for purchase, subject to exercise of withdrawal rights by holders.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Capped Tender Offer, the Company
expects to accept for purchase all 2029 Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early
Tender Date up to the Capped Maximum Amount. The Company expects to make payment for the
accepted 2029 Notes on April 30, 2026 (the "Capped Tender Offer Settlement Date"). The Company
intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and accepted 2029 Notes on the Capped Tender
Offer Settlement Date with the net proceeds from its $750,000,000 senior notes due 2033 issued on
April 10, 2026.
The Capped Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 28, 2026.
However, because the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes validly tendered as of the Early
Tender Date exceeds the Capped Maximum Amount, the Company does not expect to accept any
2029 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date.

The consideration to be paid for the 2029 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
per $1,000 principal amount of such 2029 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant
to the Capped Tender Offer is the amount set forth in the table above under the heading "Total
Consideration." The amounts set forth in the table above under "Total Consideration" include an early
tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes accepted for purchase (the
"Early Tender Premium"). Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its 2029
Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose 2029 Notes are accepted for purchase will be
entitled to receive the applicable "Total Consideration" set forth in the table above under the heading
"Total Consideration," which includes the Early Tender Premium, on a prorated basis if applicable. All
holders of 2029 Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued interest from, and including,
the most recent applicable interest payment date preceding the Capped Tender Offer Settlement Date
to, but not including, the Capped Tender Offer Settlement Date, if and when such 2029 Notes are
accepted for payment.
