As of the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 25, 2017 (the "Early Tender Date"), according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender and information agent for the Tender Offer, $592,701,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer.  Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 25, 2017.  The table below sets forth the aggregate principal amount and percentage of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Date.

The "Total Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2017.  Only holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for any such Notes accepted for purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the early settlement date, which is expected to be July 27, 2017.  Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 8, 2017 will be eligible to receive only an amount equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium set forth in the table above for any such Notes accepted for purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the final settlement date.
