Under these conditions and as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase, the Company expressly reserves its right, but is not obligated, with respect to any or all series of Notes, to extend the Offer at any time and may amend or terminate the Offer if, before such time as any Notes have been accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, any condition of the Offer is not satisfied or, where applicable, waived by the Company.
The “Full Tender Offer Consideration” payable for the Notes will be a price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes equal to an amount that would reflect, as of the date of purchase, a yield (the “Tender Offer Yield”) to the par call date or the maturity date, as applicable of the applicable series of Notes (see footnote 4 to Table I above for further information) equal to the sum of (i) the Reference Yield for the applicable series of Notes, plus (ii) the applicable Fixed Spread as calculated by the joint dealer managers at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the date of the Early Tender Time (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase). The Early Tender Payment is included in the amount of Full Tender Offer Consideration. See Schedule A to the Offer to Purchase for the formula to be used in determining the Full Tender Offer Consideration for the Notes. The Company will also pay Accrued Interest.
If the Tender Cap is reached in respect of tenders made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be subject to acceptance on a prorated basis. If the Tender Cap is not reached in respect of tenders made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, but is reached in respect of tenders made at or prior to the Expiration Time, Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time will be subject to acceptance on a prorated basis.
The “Settlement Date” with respect to the Offer is the date that the Company settles all Notes accepted for purchase, and the Company expects such date to be two business days following the Expiration Time. Assuming the Offer is not extended and all conditions of the Offer have been satisfied or, where applicable, waived by us, we expect that the Settlement Date for the Offer will be December 16, 2021.
