The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 11, 2024 (as amended herein, the "Offer to Purchase"). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Offer. Except as specifically amended in this press release, all other terms of the Offer as previously announced in the Offer to Purchase remain unchanged.
本要約是根據所附的要約出售書及其修正版本(以下簡稱“要約出售書”)的條款和條件作出的。公司將投資者引薦要約出售書以了解要約的完整條款和條件。除非在本新聞稿中作出具體的修改,否則要約出售書先前宣佈的所有其他條款,均保持不變。
As of the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 25, 2024 (the "Early Tender Deadline"), according to information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as set forth in the table below under "Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Deadline" has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Early Tender Deadline.
根據要約代理商D.F. King & Co.,Inc.提供的信息,截至2024年6月25日紐約時間下午5:00前的早期認購日期和時間,在下表中列出的票據的總本金金額在“早期認購截止期限下認購的本金金額”下已被有效認購且未被有效撤回。權利撤回於早期認購截止日期下午5:00紐約時間到期。
Title of Security | CUSIP No. | Principal Amount Outstanding | Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Deadline | Aggregate Principal Amount Accepted for Purchase |
5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 | 030981AK0 | $693,067,000 | $632,586,000 | $475,000,000 |
證券名稱 | CUSIP編號 | 未償本金額 | 早期認購截止期限下認購的本金金額 | 認購的本金金額 |
5.500%到期於2025年的優先票據 | 030981AK0 | $693,067,000 | $632,586,000 | $475,000,000 |
The Offerors have elected to exercise their right to make payment for the Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Deadline and that are accepted for purchase on June 27, 2024 (the "Initial Settlement Date").
要約人已選擇行使其權利,在2024年6月27日(“初始結算日期”)對於在早期認購期限前或早期認購期限內有效認購且被認可的票據進行支付。
The acceptance of tendered Notes was made in accordance with the Offer terms as described in the Offer to Purchase. As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Deadline exceeds the Tender Cap, any such tendered Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, subject to a proration factor of approximately 75.17%. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, any Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder's account. Since the Offer for the Notes is fully subscribed at the Early Tender Deadline, the Offerors will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.
認購的票據的接受是根據要約出售書中所述要約條款進行的。由於到早期認購截止日撤回的票據的總本金金額超過了認購上限,因此任何此類認購的票據將按比例分配,比例因子約爲75.17%。根據要約出售書的另一進一步說明,任何被認購但未被接受購買的票據將立即計入投標人的帳戶。由於票據的要約已經在早期認購截止日期當天完全訂滿,要約人將不接受任何早期認購截止日期後認購的票據。
