Beam accepted for purchase any and all 2014 Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date and, because the amount of 2021-2036 Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date was less than the 2021-2036 Maximum Amount, it accepted for purchase all 2021-2036 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date.
The tender offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date and at or before the Expiration Date will receive the Tender Offer Consideration but not the Early Tender Payment (as defined in Beam’s Offer to Purchase, dated May 17, 2013). We will accept for purchase any 2014 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, and will only accept up to $17,108,000 of additional 2021-2036 Notes (unless we increase the 2021-2036 Maximum Amount), with 2021-2036 Notes to be purchased being based on the Acceptance Priority Level (and subject to pro-ration within Acceptance Priority Levels as set forth in the Offer to Purchase).
