(1) No representation is made by the Company as
to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers or ISINs listed
in this News Release or printed on the Notes. They are provided
solely for convenience. (2) The total consideration for each
series of Notes (such consideration, the “Total Consideration”)
payable per each US$1,000 principal amount of such series of Notes
validly tendered for purchase. (3) The amounts exclude the
principal amounts of Notes for which Holders have complied with
certain procedures applicable to guaranteed delivery pursuant to
the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. Such amounts remain subject to
the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. Notes tendered pursuant to the
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures are required to be tendered at or
prior to 5 p.m. (Eastern time) on Oct. 10, 2024.
Overall, US$1,873,968,000 aggregate principal
amount of Notes have been accepted for purchase, excluding the
Notes delivered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. The
Maximum Purchase Condition (after giving effect to the increase
described above) has been satisfied with respect to the Offers in
respect of the series of Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1 –
5. Accordingly, all Notes of those series that have been validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration
Date have been accepted for purchase. Because the Maximum Purchase
Condition was not satisfied with respect to the series of Notes
with Acceptance Priority Levels 6 and 7, the Company has not
accepted any Notes of such series (as indicated in the table above)
and will promptly return all validly tendered Notes of such series
to the respective tendering Holders.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes have been
accepted for purchase in the Offers will receive the applicable
Total Consideration specified in the table above for each US$1,000
principal amount of such Notes, which will be payable in cash on
the applicable Settlement Date.
In addition to the applicable Total
Consideration, Holders whose Notes have been accepted for purchase
will be paid the Accrued Coupon Payment. Interest will cease to
accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers,
including those tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures. Under no circumstances will any interest be payable
because of any delay in the transmission of funds to Holders by the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its participants.
The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase. The
Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any
and all conditions to any Offer. If any of the conditions is not
satisfied, the Company is not obligated to accept for payment,
purchase or pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of,
any tendered notes, in each event subject to applicable laws, and
may terminate or alter any or all of the Offers.
