July 28, 2025

The Early Tender Deadline is the last date and time for holders to tender their 2027 Notes in order to be eligible to receive the Early Tender Consideration, which includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Early Tender Payment"). Holders of Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase will receive an amount equal to the Early Tender Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment (the "Late Tender Consideration").

In addition to the Early Tender Consideration or the Late Tender Consideration, as applicable, holders whose 2027 Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such 2027 Notes from and including the last interest payment date for the 2027 Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such 2027 Notes accepted for purchase.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the Issuer reserves the right, following the Early Tender Deadline, to accept for purchase prior to the Expiration Time all 2027 Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (the "Early Settlement Election"). The Issuer will announce whether it intends to exercise the Early Settlement Election (the "Early Settlement Announcement") following the Early Tender Deadline. If the Issuer exercises the Early Settlement Election, it will pay the total consideration promptly following the Early Settlement Announcement, which is currently expected to occur on August 12, 2025, subject to all conditions of the Tender Offer having been satisfied or waived by the Issuer (the "Early Payment Date"), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the purchased 2027 Notes from the interest payment date for the 2027 Notes immediately preceding the Early Payment Date to, but not including, the Early Payment Date.

The settlement date for 2027 Notes that are tendered following the Early Tender Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration Time is anticipated to be August 27, 2025, the second business day after the Expiration Time, assuming the Tender Cap of 2027 Notes is not purchased on the Early Payment Date.

Tendered 2027 Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Tender Cap to be exceeded. Furthermore, if the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender 2027 Notes following the Early Tender Deadline will not have any of their Notes accepted for payment.

The Issuer's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, 2027 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others, the condition that the Issuer has completed a debt financing on terms and conditions satisfactory to it yielding gross cash proceeds of $1,500,000,000 or more. The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Tender Offer documents that are being sent to holders of 2027 Notes. Holders of 2027 Notes are urged to read the Tender Offer documents carefully.

The Issuer has retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc. to act as dealer manager in connection with the Tender Offer. Questions about the Tender Offer may be directed to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (800) 558-3745 (toll free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect).
