(1)	Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
(2)	Includes the Early Tender Premium per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each Series.
(3)	The aggregate Purchase Price of Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Maximum Amount. Therefore, HP does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 4 through 7.

As previously announced, because the aggregate Purchase Price of Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the original Maximum Amount, HP does not expect to accept any further tenders of Notes. HP is increasing the Maximum Amount to approximately $1.019 billion in order to accept for payment all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline with Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 3. HP does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes tendered with Acceptance Priority Levels 4 through 7.

Consummation of the Tender Offer is subject to a number of conditions, including the absence of certain adverse legal and market developments. Subject to applicable law, HP may waive any and all of these conditions or extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer with respect to one or more Series of Notes and/or increase or decrease the Maximum Amount. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. There are no guaranteed delivery provisions applicable to the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 25, 2023, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). As of the Early Tender Deadline, the Holders’ withdrawal rights have expired. Assuming the Tender Offer is not extended and the conditions to the Tender Offer are satisfied or waived, HP expects that settlement for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline will be on July 27, 2023 (the “Settlement Date”).
