Guidance, Risks, and Management Commentary

Management Commentary: The filing serves as a disclosure of the offer to purchase notes and is not itself an offer to purchase or a solicitation of acceptance. The actual offer is made via separate "Offer to Purchase" documents distributed to holders.
Risks and Contingencies:

• The transaction is subject to satisfaction of conditions or waiver by the Company.
• Forward-looking statements regarding the completion, timing, and amount of the Offers are subject to risks and uncertainties.
• Offers are not made in jurisdictions where compliance with securities laws would be violated.

Unusual Items: The filing references the prior sale of ASB as the catalyst for this debt reduction strategy.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the specific "Maximum Ratable Portion" calculation for each Note series in the official Offer to Purchase documents.
• Confirm the exact settlement date once the Expiration Date is finalized.
• Review the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.
• Check for any extensions or early terminations of the Offer Expiration Date prior to April 2, 2025.
• Ensure compliance with local securities laws if accepting the offer from a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
