The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in the Companys Offer to Purchase, dated June 1, 2017 (the Offer to Purchase), which remain unchanged except as amended hereby and by the Companys press release earlier today announcing the early tender results and increase of the Maximum Tender Amount of the Tender Offer.
The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is based on the applicable reference yield plus a fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table below, and is payable to holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2017 (the Early Tender Deadline) and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by the Company. The Reference Yields listed in the table were determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2017 by the dealer managers. The Total Consideration for each series of Notes includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders and accepted for purchase by the Company. In addition, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the applicable series of Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date, which is expected to occur on June 16, 2017 (such date, the Early Settlement Date).

(1) As reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the Tender Offer.
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase.
(3) The Total Consideration includes the early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase is subject to the Maximum Tender Amount. The amounts of each series of Notes that will be accepted for purchase by the Company was determined in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table above, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 4 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level, and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase so as not to exceed the Maximum Tender Amount.
The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2017 (the Withdrawal Deadline) has passed and, accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.
The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2017. However, because holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline for which the aggregate principal amount exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the Company will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.
Notes not accepted for purchase by the Company in the Tender Offer will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company or otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
The Companys obligation to accept for purchase, and pay for, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. On June 12, 2017 the Company completed an underwritten public offering of senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to satisfy the financing condition described in the Offer to Purchase.
