Settlement: The settlement date for the accepted notes is expected to be November 8, 2016.
Concurrent Activity: A separate exchange offer for euro-denominated debt securities (Non-U.S. Offer) was launched on October 27, 2016, but this filing does not contain results for that offer.
Risks: The filing does not explicitly list new risks or contingencies beyond the standard execution of the tender offer.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the remaining outstanding principal for each note series after the tender offer.
- Review the separate announcement regarding the concurrent Non-U.S. Offer for euro-denominated debt.
- Check subsequent filings for the impact of this debt reduction on the Group's leverage ratios and liquidity position.
