(1) CUSIP information is provided for the convenience of Holders. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers.

(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted. Holders will receive in cash an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest in addition to the Tender Consideration or Total Consideration, as applicable.

(3) Inclusive of Early Tender Premium.

Holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will also be paid accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest payment date on the Notes to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

The amount of Notes that may be purchased in the Tender Offer is subject to a maximum purchase price of $150.0 million (the “Maximum Tender Amount”). Tendered Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate purchase price of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount. The Company reserves the right to increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount. All Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will have priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time. As a result, if the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, Holders that validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase unless the Company increases the Maximum Tender Amount.

The consummation of the Tender Offer is subject to certain customary conditions. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offer with respect to the Notes and may delay the acceptance for payment of, any tendered Notes and may even terminate the Tender Offer. The Company reserves the absolute right to extend, re-open, amend and/or terminate the Tender Offer in its sole discretion, subject to disclosure and other requirements as required by applicable law.

Early settlement of the Notes that have been validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time (and accepted for payment) is expected to occur, if the Company elects to do so, on the second business day following the Early Tender Time, unless the Tender Offer is terminated prior to such date. Final settlement of any Notes that have been validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time (and accepted for payment), subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, is expected to occur on the second business day following the Expiration Time, unless the Tender Offer is terminated prior to such date.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are included in the Company’s offer to purchase, dated August 7, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”).
