(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and validly accepted.

(2) Includes the Early Tender Premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Early Tender Premium”).

Settlement for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase, will be August 13, 2019 (the “Early Settlement Date”), two business days following the Early Tender Time.

The Tender Offers will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on August 23, 2019. However, because the aggregate principal amount of Notes that was validly tendered as of the Early Tender Time is greater than the Maximum Tender Amount, holders who validly tender any Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. The 2036 Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the holder’s account.
