The Tender Offers are subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap.
Each Reference Yield was determined at 9:00 a.m. New York City time on September 12, 2023.
Payable per each $1,000 principal amount of each specified series of Securities validly tendered at or prior to the early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 11, 2023 (the "Early Tender Date") and accepted for purchase and includes the Early Tender Payment.




The tender offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 26, 2023 or, in each case, any other date and time to which the Company extends the applicable tender offer, unless earlier terminated.  

Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase and payment on September 14, 2023 (the "Early Settlement Date"). All 3.375% Senior Notes due 2025 and 5.000% Senior Notes due 2025 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase and payment without proration.

The Company's obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities validly tendered in the Tender Offers is not subject to any minimum tender condition, but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, at any time to (i) waive any and all conditions to either of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate either of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase, decrease or eliminate the Aggregate Tender Cap at any time without extending the applicable Withdrawal Deadline (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or (iv) otherwise amend either of the Tender Offers in any respect. Any such change in the Aggregate Tender Cap may be significant. Accordingly, holders should not tender any Securities that they do not wish to be accepted in a Tender Offer.
