Purpose of the Offer
The principal purpose of the Offer is to acquire the Notes. The Offer is being made in connection with our proposed offering of new senior unsecured notes denominated in U.S. dollars (the "New Notes Offering"). The Tender Offer Consideration for any and all of the Notes, applicable accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date of the Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date for the Notes purchased in the Offer ("Accrued Interest"), as applicable, and all related fees and expenses are expected to be funded by the concurrent New Notes Offering. The Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as more fully described under the heading " The Offer—Conditions to the Offer " in the Offer to Purchase , including, among other things, the successful completion of the New Notes Offering on terms satisfactory to us on or prior to the Acceptance Date (the "Financing Condition"). Notes that are accepted in the Offer will be purchased, retired and cancelled by us and will no longer remain outstanding obligations of ours.
Details of the Offer
The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. , New York City time, on May 20, 2022 , unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Time"). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. , New York City time, on May 20, 2022 , or if the Offer is extended, the 10th business day after the commencement of the Offer (the "Withdrawal Time"), but not thereafter, except as required by applicable law as described in the Offer to Purchase . Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer may also be withdrawn at any time after the 60th business day after commencement of the Offer if for any reason the Offer has not been consummated within 60 business days of commencement.
For a Holder who holds Notes through DTC to validly tender Notes pursuant to the Offer, an Agent's Message and any other required documents must be received by the Tender Agent at or prior to the Expiration Time or, if pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, at or prior to 5:00 p.m. , New York City time, on May 24, 2022 (the "Guaranteed Delivery Time").

We will accept and pay for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes.
The Tender Offer Consideration payable for the Notes will be a price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes that is accepted for purchase equal to an amount determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable Fixed Spread for the Notes specified in the Offer to Purchase plus the yield to maturity on the U.S. Treasury Reference Security based on the applicable bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the Offer to Purchase at 2:00 p.m. , New York City time, on the Price Determination Date.
In addition to the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase by us will be paid the Accrued Interest.

Our obligation to accept and pay for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is conditioned on each of (i) the Financing Condition and (ii) the General Conditions having been satisfied.
We intend to issue a redemption notice for any remaining outstanding 2022 Notes that have not been validly tendered and accepted for payment in the Offer at the "make-whole" redemption price set forth in the terms and conditions of the 2022 Notes.
