The Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to the Offering and Consent Solicitation Memorandum dated June 23, 2021 (the “Offering and Consent Solicitation Memorandum”). The Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 21, 2021, unless extended (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). Qualifying noteholders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Old Notes by the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive the total exchange consideration set forth in the table above.

The Proposed Amendments to the Old Notes will become effective upon execution of a supplemental indenture to the Old Notes Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”). Qualifying noteholders who validly tender their Old Notes (and do not validly withdraw such tendered Old Notes prior to the Expiration Date) will be deemed to have delivered Consents to the Proposed Amendments with respect to the entire principal amount of Old Notes tendered by such holders.

The consent solicitation with respect to the Proposed Amendments to the Old Notes Indenture is referred to herein as the “Consent Solicitation.” The consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions (the “Exchange Offer Conditions”), including, among others, the receipt of valid tenders of Old Notes, not withdrawn, and Consents, not revoked, of not less than $335.72 million (or 95.92%) in principal amount outstanding of the Old Notes in the Exchange Offer (the “Minimum Participation Condition”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Requisite Consents must be received from holders holding not less than a majority of the then outstanding (as determined in accordance with the Old Notes Indenture) aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes in order to effect the Proposed Amendments in the manner contemplated by the Consent Solicitation. The Exchange Offer Conditions also include (i) the receipt of at least $40 million in gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of new ordinary shares of the Parent to investors (the “Equity Placement”) and (ii) the receipt of at least $20 million in gross proceeds from the Super Senior Notes Offer or from the backstop arrangement thereof (together, the “Transaction Effective Date Condition”).
