Rationale for the Offer
The Purchaser intends to hold any Notes purchased in the Offer for its own
account.
The Auction Process, Determination of the Purchase Price and Pro-ration
The Purchaser will determine the allocation of funds between the respective
Series of Senior Notes and between the respective Series of Junior Notes in its
sole discretion. Additionally, the Purchaser reserves the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion, not to accept any tenders of the Notes, not to purchase
Notes of one Series, to purchase less than the Total Senior Invitation Amount
and/or the Total Junior Invitation Amount, to increase the Total Senior
Invitation Amount and/or the Total Senior Invitation Amount, or to modify in any
manner any of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including, but not limited
to, modifying the Minimum Purchase Price with respect to each Series or
increasing the Total Senior Invitation Amount and/or the Total Junior Invitation
Amount).
Subject to the previous paragraph, the Purchase Price for the Notes of each
Series purchased pursuant to the Offer will be determined at the Price
Announcement Time on the Price Announcement Date pursuant to an auction
procedure. Under the auction procedure, the Purchaser will determine a single
purchase price, (which will be not less than: (i) the relevant Minimum Purchase
Price for the Notes of such series, as set out in the Offer to Purchase
Memorandum, or (ii) the highest Tender Price at which Notes of the relevant
Series are accepted for purchase by the Purchaser) that, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser will pay for the Notes of each Series
validly tendered and not withdrawn or revoked pursuant to the Offer, taking into
account the principal amount of Notes so tendered and the prices specified by
tendering Noteholders. Following the Expiration Deadline, and subject to the
foregoing, the Purchaser will determine the Purchase Price for each Series of
Notes in its sole and absolute discretion.
In the event that the Purchaser elects to purchase any of the Euro Notes or
Dollar Notes, the Dealer Manager will determine the applicable Euro/Sterling or
Dollar/Sterling exchange rate in its sole discretion for the purposes of
calculating the Total Senior Invitation Amount and/or Total Junior Invitation
Amount. The Purchase Price in respect of Euro Notes and Dollar Notes will be
paid in EUR and U.S.$ respectively.
Participating in the Offer and Cash to be Received
The Purchaser will only accept tenders of Notes in the Offer by way of the
submission by Noteholders of valid electronic tender and blocking instructions
("Tender Instructions" and each a "Tender Instruction"), in the form required by
the Clearing Systems, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Offer to
Purchase Memorandum. Only a Direct Participant or a Clearing System can properly
instruct that Clearing System with regard to tenders of Notes.
To tender Notes in the Offer Noteholders should deliver, or arrange to have
delivered on their behalf, via the relevant Clearing System and in accordance
with the requirements of such Clearing System, a valid Tender Instruction that
is received in each case by the Tender Agent by the Expiration Deadline.
Noteholders who validly tender on or prior to the Expiration Deadline and whose
Notes are accepted by the Purchaser will receive the Purchase Price plus the
Accrued Interest Payment.
Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other
intermediary through which they hold Notes whether such intermediary must
receive instructions to participate in the Offer before the deadlines specified
in the timeline below.
