Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, the Company may, at its option, accept for purchase and pay for (i) promptly after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time (such payment date being the “Early Settlement Date”), a portion of the Notes of any series that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time up to the applicable Maximum Series Tender Cap, and (ii) promptly after the Expiration Time, accept for purchase and pay for a principal amount of the Notes of each series up to the applicable Maximum Series Tender Cap, less the principal amount of any Notes of such series purchased on the Early Settlement Date (if any), in each case subject to proration as described in the Offer to Purchase. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes for a particular series validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time is equal to or in excess of the applicable Maximum Series Tender Cap, no additional Notes of such series will be accepted for purchase after the Early Tender Time.
Each Offer is being made independent of each other Offer. No Offer is conditioned on any of the other Offers or upon any minimum principal amount of the Notes of any series being tendered. The Company may extend or otherwise amend the Early Tender Time or the Expiration Time, or increase or decrease the Maximum Series Tender Caps, with respect to any or all of the Offers, without extending or otherwise reinstating the withdrawal rights of Holders, with respect to one or more of the Offers, unless required by law (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion).
The Company’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offers is subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction of, or the Company’s waiver of, the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The Offers are being made solely pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.
