The detailed methodology for calculating the Total Consideration for validly tendered Notes is outlined in the Offer Materials.

Holders who validly tendered their Notes and delivered their consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline, and who did not validly withdraw their Notes or consents, will be eligible to receive the total consideration determined in the manner described in the Offer Materials by reference to the fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable Reference Security listed in the Offer Materials (the "Total Consideration"), which includes a consent payment equal to $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of tendered Notes.

Holders who properly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline and on or prior to the Offer Expiration Time (as defined below), and who do not validly withdraw their Notes, will be eligible to receive an amount equal to the Total Consideration less the $30.00 consent payment per $1,000 principal amount of tendered Notes.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 29, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the "Offer Expiration Time").

In addition, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date of the Notes will be payable in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Notes.

The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to (i) terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer at any time and not accept for purchase any Notes, (ii) waive any or all of the conditions of the Tender Offer, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Offer Expiration Time and from time to time, (iii) extend the Offer Expiration Time or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect. If the Company makes a material change in the terms of the Tender Offer or the information concerning the Tender Offer or waives a material condition of the Tender Offer, the Company will disseminate additional offering materials and extend the Tender Offer to the extent required by law. Until the Offer Expiration Time, no assurance can be given that the Tender Offer will be completed.

The Company has retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to serve as dealer manager for the Tender Offer. Requests for documents may be directed to Ipreo LLC, the information agent and tender agent for the Tender Offer, by telephone at (888) 593-9546, by email at [email protected] or in writing at 1359 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10018.

None of the Company, the dealer manager, the information agent or the tender agent makes any recommendation in connection with the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase or sell nor a solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell any securities. The Tender Offer is being made solely by means of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated March 2, 2017 and the related Letter of Transmittal. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require any tender offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of the Company by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
