The right of each Holder of the Notes to sell and the obligation of the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to the Put Option Documents is a term of the Notes under the Indenture, and has been a right of Holders from the time the Notes were issued. The purpose of this transaction is to comply with the relevant terms of the Notes and the Indenture.
In order to exercise the Put Option, a Holder must follow the procedures contained in the Put Option Documents. The Trustee has informed the Company that, as of the date hereof, all custodians and beneficial holders of the Notes hold the Notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) accounts. Accordingly, all Notes surrendered for repurchase hereunder must be delivered through the transmittal procedures of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program.
To exercise your option to have the Company repurchase the Notes and to receive payment of the Repurchase Price, you must validly deliver your Notes through DTC’s transmittal procedures prior to the Expiration Date. Notes delivered through DTC’s transmittal procedures for repurchase may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date by complying with the withdrawal procedure of DTC. Beneficial owners of Notes are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes as to when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a beneficial owner in order for that beneficial owner to be able to participate in, or withdraw its instruction, to exercise the Put Option before the deadlines specified in this notice. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and DTC, for the submission and withdrawal of tender instructions may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified above.
