The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of 1 August 2019 (as amended to the date hereof, the “Indenture”), by and among the company, the Guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Under the terms of the Indenture, the company is obligated to offer to purchase for cash an aggregate principal amount of up to the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount of its outstanding Notes at the Offer Price. The Offer is being made to satisfy this requirement.

The Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount is equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Indenture) of the company and certain of its subsidiaries for the Excess Cash Flow Annual Period (as defined in the Indenture), minus the Quarterly Available Excess Cash Flows for the quarters ended 31 March 2022, 30 June 2022 and 30 September 2022.

None of the company, its board of directors (or any committee thereof), TMI Trust Company, the paying agent for the Offer, or the Trustee or their respective affiliates is making any recommendation as to whether or not holders should tender all or any portion of their Notes in the Offer.

This announcement is not an offer to purchase or sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell any securities. The Offer is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase. The Offer is not being made to holders of Notes 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.
