The Merger Agreement provides that no more than $9 billion of cash consideration, in the aggregate, will be paid to holders of shares of Class V Common Stock in connection with the Class V transaction. If holders of Class V Common Stock elect in the aggregate to receive more than $9 billion in cash, such elections to receive cash consideration will be subject to proration, and a portion of the consideration such holders requested in cash will instead be received in the form of shares of Class C Common Stock, as described in “Election to Receive Class C Common Stock or Cash Consideration—Proration of Aggregate Cash Consideration” beginning on page 138 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. No guarantee can be made that you will receive the amount of cash consideration that you elect.
SHARE DESIGNATION FOR HOLDERS OF MULTIPLE LOTS (OPTIONAL)
If a U.S. Holder of Class V Common Stock holds different lots of Class V Common Stock in more than one book-entry position, in accordance with Treasury RegulationSection 1.358-2(a)(2)(ii), such holder may designate specific shares of Class V Common Stock to be surrendered for cash consideration, if applicable, by attaching instructions to this Election Form with such specific designations. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the availability and advisability of making such express designations.
In order for your election to be properly made and effective, you must deliver (1) this Election Form, properly completed and signed, together with a completed and signed IRS FormW-9 or the appropriate IRS FormW-8, as applicable,AND (2) if you are a broker, bank or other nominee and you cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer of the shares of Class V Common Stock into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC prior to the Election Deadline, a properly completed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, in each case, to the Exchange Agent at the address listed in the Election Information Booklet, by the Election Deadline.
