Under the indenture governing the 2052 Notes (the “2052 Notes Indenture”), the interest rate on the 2052 Notes is subject to adjustment from and including October 8, 2031 depending upon various factors that shall be assessed in the future. Based on factors that were due to be assessed prior to the date of this Offer to Purchase, on October 8, 2031, the interest rate on the 2052 Notes will be increased to 4.600% pursuant to the 2052 Notes Indenture. For the purposes of calculating the Total Consideration in respect of the 2052 Notes, the interest rate on the 2052 Notes used for such calculation will be 4.500% up to (but excluding) October 8, 2031 and will be increased to 4.600% from and including October 8, 2031 until the maturity date of the 2052 Notes. No other adjustments shall be assumed for the purposes of the Total Consideration. |
As set forth in the table above, subject to the terms and conditions of each of the Offers, holders of each series of Notes (each, a “Holder”) must validly tender and not validly withdraw their respective Notes at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2026, unless such date and time are extended with respect to any series of Notes or the applicable Offer is earlier terminated by JAB in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law (such time and date, as may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”), to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as described below). The total consideration for each series of Notes (such consideration, the “Total Consideration”) payable per each US$1,000 principal amount of such series of Notes validly tendered for purchase will be based on the applicable fixed spread as specified in the table above for such series of Notes, plus the bid-side yield (rounded to the nearest 0.001% with 0.0005% being rounded upwards) on the applicable U.S. Treasury reference security as specified in the table above (as applicable to each such series of Notes, the “Reference Security”) for such series of Notes calculated from the applicable bid-side price by the Dealer Managers in accordance with standard market practice as of the Price Determination Date, as displayed for the relevant Reference Security on the applicable Bloomberg page as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of the applicable Expiration Time. The formula for determining the Total Consideration is set forth on Annex A of the Offer to Purchase. Promptly after such time, JAB will issue a press release specifying, among other things, the Total Consideration applicable to each series of Notes. The Total Consideration does not include the applicable accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for each series of Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date, which will be payable in cash in addition to the applicable Total Consideration. The Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by JAB will be cancelled on the applicable Settlement Date and Holders of such Notes will not be entitled to receive any further payments thereunder. In the event of a termination of any Offer, all Notes tendered pursuant to any terminated Offer will be promptly returned.
JAB’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to any Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in JAB’s discretion, of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. However, no Offer is conditioned on any minimum amount of Notes of any series being tendered.
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of said conditions, in JAB’s sole discretion, JAB anticipates that it will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the applicable Expiration Time and pay for such accepted Notes promptly following the applicable Expiration Time (the “Settlement Date”). The Settlement Date for the Offers is expected to occur on July 29, 2026, which is the second business day after the Expiration Time, unless the applicable Offer is extended or earlier terminated by JAB in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law.
Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2026, unless extended with respect to any series of Notes (the “Withdrawal Deadline”).
JAB reserves the right to amend, terminate or withdraw any Offer, including if the conditions are not satisfied, subject to applicable law. In the event of a termination or withdrawal of any Offer, Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering Holders.
The purpose of the Offers is, amongst other things, to proactively manage the Company’s leverage. The Offers are being made on a voluntary basis by the Company and do not require any minimum level of participation to be completed.
