No Securities had been validly tendered for purchase after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on March 2, 2016 (the
“Early Tender Deadline”). Accordingly, the Company will pay, for the Securities in each Series accepted by it for

1.   the product of (x) the relevant Total Purchase Price and (y) the nominal amount of the relevant Securities,
     divided by U.S.$1,000; and

2.   the Accrued Interest Amount in respect of such Securities,

rounded, if necessary, to the nearest U.S.$0.01, with half a cent being rounded upwards.

Securities purchased by the Company pursuant to the Tender Offers will be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-
sold.

Settlement of the Tender Offers and payment of the Tender Consideration in respect of Securities accepted for purchase
is expected to take place on March 21, 2016.
