(iii) 5.165% Senior Notes due 2044 (the "2044 Notes" and, collectively with the

in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, including a prospectus and
consent solicitation statement forming a part thereof, the "Prospectus") filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 18, 2022
(the "Registration Statement"). In connection with the Exchange Offers, the
Company is also soliciting consents to amend the indenture governing the Old
Notes (the "Consent Solicitations"). A copy of the press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.

Each of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, which were previously
scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2022, has
been extended until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2022 (as such
time and date may be further extended, the "Expiration Time").

In addition to the extension of the Expiration Time, the Company has made certain updates and changes to the terms of the New Notes.



As of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2022, which was the
previous expiration time for the Exchange Offers, the principal amounts of Old
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as advised by Global
Bondholder Services Corporation, the exchange agent for the exchange offers, are
set forth in the table below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As previously announced, we entered into privately negotiated exchanges with
certain existing institutional holders of our Old Notes. In total, the existing
holders exchanged approximately $69 million aggregate principal amount of 2024
Notes, $15.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2034 Notes and $70.2 million
aggregate principal amount of 2044 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on
such notes, and in one case cash, for approximately 14.5 million shares of our
common stock (the "Private Exchanges"). The Outstanding Principal Amount of each
series of Old Notes in the table above gives effect to the cancellation of the
Old Notes exchanged in the Private Exchanges.

As of November 18, 2022, after taking into consideration the shares of common stock issued in connection with the Private Exchanges and our previously announced at-the-market offering program, we had a total of approximately 117.3 million shares of common stock outstanding.



The Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations are being made only by and
pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, and the information summarized
herein is qualified by reference to such Prospectus and the Registration
Statement.
