The Company has accepted all $575,400,000 combined aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date.

The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is set forth in the table above, and is payable to holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. ET on June 17, 2016 (the "Early Tender Time"), and whose Notes were accepted for purchase.  The Total Consideration for each series of Notes includes an Early Tender Payment of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase.  Holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to 11:59 p.m. ET on July 1, 2016 (the "Expiration Time"), and whose Notes were accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment.

Holders whose Notes are purchased pursuant to the tender offers will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their purchased Notes from the last interest payment date for such Notes to, but not including, the payment date for such purchased Notes.  The conditions to the tender offers have been satisfied; therefore, payment for the purchased Notes will be made today.
