*
The Total Consideration and the Tender Consideration were determined taking into account the par call date, instead of the maturity date, of such Notes in accordance with standard market practice.
The reference yields for the Tender Offer were determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 30, 2021. The applicable consideration to be paid per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is based on the applicable “Reference Yield” plus the applicable “Fixed Spread” and is inclusive of the “Early Tender Premium” for such series of Notes, in each case, as set forth in the table above (the “Total Consideration”). In accordance with the acceptance priority levels, the Company expects to accept for purchase in the Tender Offer $296,608,000 of the 4.250% Notes due 2025 and $203,390,000 of the 4.125% Notes due 2027. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their purchased Notes from, and including, the last interest payment date for such Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date for the Tender Offer, which is expected to be December 1, 2021 (the “Settlement Date”).
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 13, 2021, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). However, as the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered at the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Maximum Amount, it is expected that further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Time will not be accepted for purchase.
The obligation of the Company to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, under the heading “Terms of the Tender Offer—Conditions of the Tender Offer,” including, among other things, the Company having issued not less than $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of new indebtedness through one or more new debt financing transactions on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Financing Condition”). The Company expects that the Financing Condition will be satisfied on December 1, 2021. On such date, the Company expects to issue $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.050% Notes due 2032. Amounts payable in excess of the net proceeds of such issuance in connection with the Tender Offer are expected to be paid with the Company’s cash on hand or other amounts available to the Company.
The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions in, an Offer to Purchase, dated November 15, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth a description of the terms of the Tender Offer.
