In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that is validly tendered prior to the Early Consent Date (as defined below) and not validly withdrawn, holders will be eligible to receive $1,000 principal amount of New Notes (the “Exchange Offer Consideration”) and an early consent payment in cash of $50 (the “Early Consent Payment” and, together with the Exchange Offer Consideration, the “Total Consideration”). Old Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Consent Date and prior to the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn, will not receive the early consent payment.

The Exchange Offer commences on January 8, 2018 and expires immediately following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 5, 2018, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). In order to be eligible to receive the early consent payment, holders of old notes must validly tender and not withdraw their old notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 22, 2018, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Consent Date”).

The proposed amendments to the Old Notes will, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Old Notes, eliminate certain events of default, amend the indenture governing the Old Notes to provide for the termination and replacement of guarantees and make certain conforming changes to the indenture governing the Old Notes to reflect the proposed amendments. The consent solicitation is conditioned upon the receipt of valid consents to the proposed amendments from the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes.

DXC has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Exchange Offer (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 19, 2017, and has been declared effective. The exchange offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in DXC’s prospectus, dated as of January 8, 2018, which forms a part of the registration statement applicable to the exchange offer.

The terms of the New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer will have an interest rate and maturity date that are identical to the interest rate and maturity date of such tendered Old Notes, as well as identical interest payment dates and optional redemption prices. No accrued but unpaid interest will be paid on the Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer. However, the first interest payment for the New Notes issued in the exchange will have accrued from the most recent interest payment date for such tendered Old Note.
