Press release

**SES Completes Acquisition of Intelsat,** 

**Creating Global Multi-Orbit Connectivity Powerhouse** 

*New leading multi-orbit space company with a network of 120 GEO+MEO satellites and access* 

*to LEO constellations enables SES to better serve its customers* 

Luxembourg, 17 July 2025 — SES, a leading space solutions company, today announced the completion of its highly value accretive acquisition of Intelsat, creating a strengthened global satellite operator with an expanded fleet of 120 satellites across two orbits. The newly combined company will leverage its skilled teams with deep vertical expertise to deliver integrated multi-orbit, multi-band satellite and connectivity solutions to businesses and governments around the world, creating a stronger multi-orbit operator with ~60% of revenue in high-growth segments.

With a world-class network including approximately 90 geostationary (GEO), nearly 30 medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, strategic access to low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and an extensive ground network, SES can now deliver connectivity solutions utilising complementary spectrum bands including C-, Ku-, Ka-, Military Ka-, X-band, and Ultra High Frequency. The expanded capabilities of the combined company will enable it to deliver premium-quality services and tailored solutions to its customers. The company's assets and networks, once fully integrated, will put SES in a strong competitive position to better serve the evolving needs of its customers including governments, aviation, maritime, and media across the globe.

"Today, we're not just merging two companies — we're creating a stronger company, built for the future. I want to extend a warm welcome to all new employees, customers, and partners," said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. "In this new chapter, we are bringing together a powerful mix of talented people, network infrastructure, spectrum, innovation, and global relationships that will allow us to deliver next-generation connectivity and space-enabled services in smarter and quicker ways."

The transaction establishes a more robust financial foundation for SES, with pro forma combined revenue of €3.7 billion projected to grow at a low- to mid-single digit CAGR (2024-2028E). The combined company pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of €1.8 billion is expected to grow at mid-single digit CAGR including synergies (2024-2028E), with plans to generate over €1 billion in Adjusted Free Cash Flow by 2027-2028 (pre IRIS<sup>2</sup>). This stronger financial profile is supported by a combined contract backlog exceeding €8 billion, providing clear visibility into future revenue streams.

------

![LOGO](g32431g88m01.jpg)

SES plans to maintain disciplined investment in future growth, with annual capital expenditures averaging €600–€650 million from 2025-2028E, excluding the IRIS<sup>2</sup> programme. This will enable the company to continuously strengthen its network and explore emerging growth markets including Internet of Things (IoT), direct-to-device communications, inter-satellite data relay, space situational awareness, and quantum key distribution. The company's profitable growth outlook, strong balance sheet metrics and expanded cash flows will support both continued innovation and increased shareholder returns, with the intent to raise the annual base dividend once targeted net leverage of below 3 times is achieved within 12-18 months after closing.

"Our focus is clear: to grow, to lead in high-potential markets, and to shape the future of our industry. This is a long-term play, and we are building with the future in mind — growing year after year, expanding our capabilities, and creating lasting value for our customers and shareholders alike," Al-Saleh said.

By integrating the two organisations, SES expects to deliver synergies with a total net present value of €2.4 billion, representing an annual run rate of approximately €370 million, with 70% of these efficiencies anticipated to be executed within three years after closing. These savings will primarily come from streamlined operations, optimised capacity costs, and procurement efficiencies, along with the strategic integration of satellite fleets and ground infrastructure.

SES remains headquartered in Luxembourg and is publicly listed on the Paris and Luxembourg stock exchanges (Ticker: SESG), while maintaining a significant presence in the United States with its North American main office in McLean, Virginia.

The new SES Senior Leadership Team can be found <u>here</u>.

Guggenheim Securities acted as lead financial advisor to SES. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as co-financial advisor. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc also acted as a financial advisor. Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank AG, Filiale Luxembourg provided committed financing for the transaction, which was subsequently syndicated. Both Guggenheim Securities and Morgan Stanley & Co LLC rendered a fairness opinion to SES's Board of Directors. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Hogan Lovells, Arendt & Medernach, and Freshfields served as legal counsel to SES.

PJT Partners served as financial advisor to Intelsat and rendered a fairness opinion to the Intelsat S.A. Board of Directors. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Wiley Rein, and Elvinger Hoss Prussen served as legal counsel to Intelsat.

**CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS** 

Section 2.1 <u>Issuance of CVRs; Appointment of Rights Agent</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent payments pursuant to this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the CVR Issuer, without any further action, has hereby issued to Indiana as the sole Holder an aggregate number of CVRs equal to the Fully Diluted Share Number as of the Effective Date in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The parties acknowledge that Indiana intends to distribute the CVRs in the Liquidation to the holders of Indiana Equity Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, which distribution shall be permitted under this Agreement subject to <u>Section</u> <u>2.3</u>. Indiana shall notify the CVR Issuer and the Rights Agent of the effectiveness of the Liquidation and appropriate instructions to enable the Rights Agent to update the CVR Register to reflect the distribution of the CVRs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The CVR Issuer hereby appoints Equiniti Trust Company, LLC as the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for the CVRs in accordance with the instructions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 2.2 <u>Transferabi</u><u>lity</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The CVRs or any Beneficial Interest shall be freely transferable without the prior consent of the CVR Issuer except as provided in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.2</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Holder shall Transfer any of its CVRs or Beneficial Interests except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable federal Law or state securities or blue sky Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if such Transfer would not cause the CVR Issuer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the CVR Issuer to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if such Transfer would not cause the CVR Issuer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the CVR Issuer to be subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of the CVRs or Beneficial Interests held by a Holder in violation of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.2</u> shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever, such purported Transferee shall not be treated as a Holder of the CVRs or Beneficial Interests for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise, and the Rights Agent shall not register such Transfer.

Section 2.3 <u>CVR Register; DTC</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the "<u>CVR Register</u>") for the purpose of registering CVRs and permitted Transfers thereof. The CVRs shall be issued in the form of (a) one position for Cede & Co. representing all of the CVRs held by DTC on behalf of the Beneficial Owners holding through their respective DTC Participants and (b) Direct Registration CVRs. The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the Beneficial Owners holding through their respective DTC Participants with respect to transfers of CVRs. Any Beneficial Owners holding through their respective DTC Participants may move their holdings of CVRs directly to the CVR Register as Direct Registration CVRs only through the procedures established by DTC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The direct Transferee (i.e., a Transferee that holds the CVRs directly and not simply a Beneficial Interest in CVRs registered in the name of Cede & Co.) of the CVRs Transferred shall be a Direct Owner for purposes of this Agreement. Any indirect Transferee (i.e., a Transferee that holds a Beneficial Interest in the CVRs registered in the name of Cede & Co.) of CVRs Transferred shall be bound by this Agreement as a Beneficial Owner. Following a Transfer in which a Beneficial Owner elects to hold as a Direct Owner (or vice versa), the Rights Agent shall amend the CVR Register to reflect the change in Direct Owners, and the Rights Agent shall take any other appropriate action in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The CVR Issuer will enter into the Depository Agreement pursuant to which DTC will act as a securities depository for the CVRs. The CVRs deposited with DTC will be represented by a Global Security (which may be a book-entry security or consist of one or more certificates as required by DTC), which will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC or as DTC shall otherwise direct, and deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC. No other certificates evidencing such CVRs will be issued. The Global Security shall be in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit</u> <u>A-2</u> or described therein and shall represent such CVRs as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding CVRs from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding CVRs represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased. As of the Effective Date, without the need for any action or consent of any Person, including the CVR Issuer, an initial Global Security shall be issued reflecting the number of CVRs to be issued to Cede & Co. as of the Effective Date and shown on the CVR Register. Any Global Security shall be executed by an officer on behalf of the CVR Issuer. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding CVRs represented thereby shall be made in such manner and upon instructions given by the CVR Issuer as specified in the Depository Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Direct Registration CVRs shall be uncertificated and evidenced by the Direct Registration System maintained by the Rights Agent. Direct Registration CVRs do not need to be authenticated and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes of this Agreement and shall entitle each Direct Owner thereof to all benefits of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Rights Agent shall provide a written statement to each Direct Owner showing the number of Direct Registration CVRs held thereby. Thereafter, the Rights Agent shall provide periodic written statements (and no less than biannually) to each Direct Owner showing the number of Direct Registration CVRs held thereby.

Section 2.4 <u>Determination of Applicable Consideration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Within ninety (90) days following the receipt by the CVR Issuer or any of its Affiliates of any Gross Proceeds, the CVR Issuer shall deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate (a "<u>Payment Certificate</u>") setting forth, in reasonable detail with reasonable supporting information, the CVR Issuer's calculation of the Applicable Consideration with respect to such Gross Proceeds, including the CVR Issuer's calculation of Gross Proceeds, Net Proceeds and Applicable Expenses (and the components thereof). Promptly following the CVR Issuer's delivery of a Payment Certificate to the Rights Agent (but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Rights Agent shall mail a notice, by email to the email address that appears on the CVR Register or, if no email address appears on the CVR Register, by first class mail to the Holders at their addresses as they appear on the CVR Register, that includes a copy of such Payment Certificate (a "<u>Payment Notice</u>"). All determinations and calculations with respect to the calculation of any Applicable Consideration in a Payment Certificate shall be reasonably made by the CVR Issuer in good faith, and such determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Holders, absent manifest mathematical error, subject to the CVR Issuer's receipt of a Payment Dispute Statement in accordance with the terms set forth in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that Holders holding CVRs representing at least forty-two and one-half percent (42.5%) of the Outstanding CVRs disagree with any of the determinations or calculations set forth in a Payment Certificate (such Holders, the "<u>Disputing Holders</u>"), the Disputing Holders may, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Disputing Holders of the Payment Notice, deliver written notice to the CVR Issuer and the Rights Agent (a "<u>Dispute Statement</u>") setting forth in reasonable detail the determinations or calculations (the "<u>Disputed Items</u>") that the Disputing Holders dispute. Any determinations or calculations not specifically identified in the Dispute Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Holders and the CVR Issuer. In the event that the CVR Issuer and the Rights Agent do not receive a Dispute Statement within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Payment Certificate shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Holders and the CVR Issuer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holders shall have no right to contest or otherwise dispute the CVR Issuer's calculation of Tax Costs, or request any information with respect thereto, in each case, absent manifest mathematical error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A representative of the Disputing Holders (such representative to be identified in the Dispute Statement and selected by Disputing Holders who hold a majority of all CVRs held by the Disputing Holders), on the one hand, and the CVR Issuer, on the other hand, shall seek in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items for a period of ten (10) Business Days beginning on the date the CVR Issuer receives the Dispute Statement. If the representative of the Disputing Holders, on one hand, and the CVR Issuer, on the other hand, are unable to resolve any Disputed Items during such ten (10)-Business Day period, then the CVR Issuer shall promptly engage an independent third-party financial, accounting, valuation, appraisal or other advisor selected by a majority of the Disputing Holders that is reasonably acceptable to the CVR Issuer (an "<u>Independent Advisor</u>") to conduct a non-binding determination or calculation of the remaining Disputed Items. The CVR Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Advisor to make any such non-binding determinations or calculations as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days, of its engagement by the CVR Issuer. The CVR Issuer shall consider in good faith any comments to the Disputed Items in the

------

Payment Certificate based on the determinations and calculations of the Independent Advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the CVR Issuer shall not be required to make any adjustments to its own determinations as a result of the Independent Advisor's comments, calculations, or determinations; <u>provided</u> that, if the CVR Issuer does make any such adjustments, it may not assign a value (i) higher than the greatest value for any Disputed Item calculated by the CVR Issuer or the Independent Advisor (whichever is greater) or (ii) lower than the smallest value for such item calculated by the CVR Issuer or the Independent Advisor (whichever is smaller). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the CVR Issuer be required to engage an Independent Advisor more than once with respect to any Applicable Consideration contemplated by a Payment Certificate. The cost and expense of the Independent Advisor (the "<u>Independent Advisor Costs</u>") shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the CVR Issuer and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Independent Advisor Costs shall be borne *pro rata* by the Holders (with such portion of the Independent Advisor Costs to be offset against the amount payable to Holders hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall any Holder be required to pay for its respective allocation of the Independent Advisor Costs other than by offset against the amounts payable to such Holder hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Payment Certificate, as modified to incorporate any comments pursuant to the prior paragraph (if applicable), is hereinafter referred to as a "<u>Final Payment Certificate</u>." Within five (5) Business Days following the completion of any Final Payment Certificate, the CVR Issuer shall distribute an amount in cash equal to the amount of the Applicable Consideration set forth in such Final Payment Certificate to the Rights Agent, for further distribution to the Holders in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The CVR Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Independent Advisor such information, cooperation and access as the Independent Advisor may reasonably request in connection with <u>Section</u> <u>2.4(c)</u> (subject to customary confidentiality restrictions and access letters).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If, after the payment of any Applicable Consideration hereunder, it is determined by the CVR Issuer in good faith that Applicable Expenses were greater or less than the amount used to determine the Applicable Consideration, any future payments of Applicable Consideration shall be adjusted to take into account such differences (which adjustment shall, subject to the following sentence, be the sole recourse of the parties with respect to any such deviation). In addition, if the CVR Issuer receives any reimbursement for Applicable Expenses pursuant to an Applicable Order and such reimbursement has not already been taken into account in the payment of Applicable Consideration, the Holders shall be entitled to their Applicable Percentage of such reimbursed expenses.

Section 2.5 <u>Payments of CVR Payment Amount</u>. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of any Applicable Consideration from the CVR Issuer for payment to the Holders (each, a "<u>CVR Payment Amount</u>"), including pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.4(d)</u> and <u>Section</u> <u>2.4(f)</u>, the Rights Agent shall pay the applicable *pro rata* share of such CVR Payment Amount to (a) each Holder holding its CVRs directly on the CVR Register (i) by check mailed to the address of such Holder as reflected on the CVR Register as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to such date or (ii) if such Holder has provided the Rights Agent with wire transfer instructions in writing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in such instructions,

------

and (b) Beneficial Owners of the CVRs holding through their respective DTC Participants by sending a lump payment to DTC in respect of all such CVRs. The Rights Agent shall have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such Beneficial Owners. The *pro rata* share of each CVR Payment Amount due to each Holder shall be determined by multiplying the CVR Payment Amount by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the total number of CVRs owned by such Holder on the CVR Payment Date (or any record date established by the CVR Issuer in accordance with this Agreement) and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of CVRs Outstanding on the CVR Payment Date (or such record date, as applicable).

Section 2.6 <u>Record Date</u>. The CVR Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to (a) receive the CVR Payment Amount or (b) consent to any other matter which is specifically delegated to the Holders under this CVR Agreement. The record date with respect to any CVR Payment shall be at least three (3) Business Days prior to the CVR Payment Date and no more than twenty (20) days prior to the CVR Payment Date. If not set by the CVR Issuer prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of CVRs made by any Person in respect of any such action, the record date for such action shall be the later of twenty (20) days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Rights Agent prior to such solicitation. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to receive the CVR Payment Amount or take such action by consent, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective if taken or made more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such record date. The CVR Issuer shall provide Holders at least ten (10) Business Days' notice of any record date set pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.6</u>.

Section 2.7 <u>Payments on CVRs</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The CVR Issuer, the Rights Agent and their respective Affiliates are entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under any provision of U.S. or non-U.S. federal, national, supranational, state, local, provincial or similar Tax Law, and shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that any amounts so deducted or withheld are timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity as required by applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The CVR Issuer, the Rights Agent and their respective Affiliates shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the relevant payee of any required withholding no later than five (5) Business Days in advance of the date of the relevant payment, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with such payee and its Affiliates in obtaining any available exemption or reduction, of, or otherwise minimizing, such withholding. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to solicit any appropriate forms or information, from Holders in order to determine the amount of such withholding, if any, and shall cooperate with the Holders to mitigate or eliminate any such withholding to the extent permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither the CVR Issuer nor the Rights Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of the CVR Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite the CVR Issuer's or the Rights Agent's commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the CVR Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, such CVR

------

Payment Amount has not been paid prior to two (2) years after the CVR Payment Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which such CVR Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), such CVR Payment Amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the CVR Issuer, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.8 <u>No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in the CVR Issuer.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Neither the Holders (by virtue of their ownership of the CVRs) nor the CVRs shall have any rights common to shareholders of the CVR Issuer, including voting and dividend rights. The CVRs shall not represent an equity or ownership interest in the CVR Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Interest shall not accrue on any amounts that may be payable to a Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the CVRs shall not (i) be subject to any mandatory or optional redemption rights by the Holders or the CVR Issuer, (ii) mature or trigger any right to payment by the Holders in any amount or on any specific date, or (iii) be convertible into or exchangeable for any security or other interest in the CVR Issuer.

Section 2.9 <u>Ability to Abandon</u> <u>CVR</u><u>; CVR Issuer Acquisition of CVRs</u>. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder's option, abandon all of such Holder's remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to the CVR Issuer without consideration therefor and such CVR shall be canceled and shall not be considered Outstanding for any purposes under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the CVR Issuer or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion.

**ARTICLE III**
