2. On January 16, 2015, PRC and Citibank N.A. ("Citibank") entered into a Put/Call Agreement (the "Put/Call Agreement"), by which, among other things, (i) PRC granted Citibank an option (exercisable between January 21, 2015 and March 31, 2015) (the "Put Option") to cause PRC to purchase the Floating Rate Municipal Term Preferred Shares, Series 2015 (the "MTPS Shares") from Citibank at the option price of $25,000 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends (the "Option Price"); and (ii) Citibank granted PRC an option (exercisable on April 1, 2015) (the "Call Option") to cause Citibank to sell the MTPS Shares to PRC at the Option Price. On March 3, 2015, Citibank notified PRC that it was exercising the Put Option. |

PRC designated its affiliate, PRC-US, to perform its obligations under the Put/Call Agreement, and accordingly PRC-US purchased the MTPS Shares from Citibank on March 10, 2015 for the Option Price. The Call Option expired immediately following the exercise of the Put Option, whereupon PRC ceased to be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. |
