According to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tender and Information Agent for the Offer, Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $148,169,000 were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Time. No Notes were tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, including the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, dated December 9, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal. The closing of the Offer is subject to a number of conditions that are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the successful completion by us of a new senior debt offering. If the conditions are met, we expect to pay for the Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Time on December 18, 2019 (the “Settlement Date”).

Holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Notes at or before the Expiration Time will receive $1,002.80 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted by us for purchase in the Offer. Accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date will be paid in cash on all validly tendered Notes accepted by us for purchase in the Offer.

We intend to fund the purchase of the Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Time with a portion of the proceeds from our previously announced senior debt offering, the closing of which is expected to occur on or about December 18, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
