Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total aggregate principal amount of the global medium-term note program (stated as up to US$700,000,000) to assess the remaining debt capacity.
- Confirm the impact of the share repurchase on the total number of outstanding Class B shares and earnings per share.
- Review the pricing of the repurchased notes (8.50% and 10.750%) to determine if they were bought at a discount or premium to par value, as only nominal values are provided.
- Check subsequent filings for the cash outflow impact of these repurchases on the company's liquidity position.
