The Company has elected to revise the pricing terms of the Offer. The total consideration per $1,000 principal amount at the maturity of the Notes validly tendered (and not subsequently validly withdrawn) on or before the Consent Payment Deadline and accepted for purchase by the Company will be $1,110.55 (the "Total Consideration"). The Total Consideration includes a payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Consent Payment") payable only in respect of Notes tendered (and not subsequently validly withdrawn) on or before the Consent Payment Deadline (defined below). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time (defined below), will be eligible only to receive the "Tender Offer Consideration," namely the Total Consideration minus the Consent Payment, or $1,080.55 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. In each case, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest for such purchased Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for Notes purchased in the Offer.
The Company has also elected to extend the Consent Payment Deadline of the Offer from October 4, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, to October 11, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (the "Consent Payment Deadline"), and the expiration date of the Offer from at the end of the day on October 19, 2011 at midnight, New York City time, to at the end of the day on October 25, 2011 at midnight, New York City time (the "Expiration Time"). Tenders of Notes in the Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 11, 2011 and (ii) the time that holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, excluding Notes owned by the Company or its affiliates, authorize the Proposed Amendments and the Company and the Trustee execute the related supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the Notes, but not thereafter, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Promptly after the end of the withdrawal period, but in any event before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the following business day, the Company will issue a press release to announce the end of the withdrawal period.
The initial settlement date for the Offer is expected to occur on the first business day following the Consent Payment Deadline on which all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived, which is currently anticipated to occur on or around October 12, 2011 and will occur no earlier. The final settlement date for the Offer is expected to occur promptly after the Expiration Time, assuming all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived, and is currently expected to be October 26, 2011.
