The total outstanding principal amount across all series is approximately $945 million, with about $157 million tendered by the original early participation date.

Eligible holders who tender notes by the extended deadline will receive total consideration including an early participation payment. The deadline for withdrawing tenders expired June 1, 2026, and was not modified.

The exchange offers and consent solicitations expire June 16, 2026, unless extended. Settlement is expected June 22, 2026. New notes will have the same economic terms as existing notes but will not be registered under the Securities Act.
