As of the Expiration Date, US$472,937,000 or 90.08% of the US$525,000,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Tender Offer (excluding US$1,694,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes submitted pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 24, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Tender Offer Documents”)).

Certain information regarding the Notes and the pricing terms is set forth in the table below.

The Issuer intends to fund the Purchase Price for the Notes tendered in the Tender Offer with net proceeds it receives from the sale of US$525,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% senior secured notes due 2032 (the “New Financing”). The consummation of the Tender Offer and the Issuer’s obligation to pay for Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer is subject to certain market and other conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the consummation of the New Financing and the receipt of net proceeds therefrom. Additional terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Tender Offer Documents.

Following the consummation of the New Financing and the Tender Offer, the Issuer may elect to redeem Notes that were not tendered in the Tender Offer and satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”), in accordance with the provisions thereof, at the applicable price as set forth in the Indenture. In the event that the Issuer does not consummate a redemption of the Notes, the Issuer may otherwise acquire outstanding Notes, through open market or privately negotiated transactions, one or more additional tender offers, or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as the Issuer may determine. However, the Issuer is not obligated to undertake any such transactions and there can be no assurance that the Issuer will satisfy and discharge, redeem or otherwise extinguish any Notes that were not tendered in the Tender Offer.

Statements of intent in this press release shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the Indenture. Any such notice, if made, will only be made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

The Tender Offer was made pursuant to the Tender Offer Documents. RBC Capital Markets, LLC and CIBC World Markets Corp. acted as joint dealer managers for the Tender Offer. This press release is for information purposes only, and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy or an offer to purchase or sell any securities. Neither this press release nor the Tender Offer Documents is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy debt securities in the New Financing or any other securities. The Tender Offer was not made in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
