(3)	Interest rates included herein represent the respective initial interest rate of each series of Notes subject to the Tender Offers.  Due to credit rating downgrades on each series of Notes since they were originally issued, the 4.700% Notes and the 3.875% Notes currently bear interest at a rate of 5.950% per annum and 5.375% per annum, respectively.  On February 10, 2021, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the Company’s credit rating and the credit rating of its secured and unsecured debt.  As a result of such downgrades, the interest rate payable on the 4.700% Notes will increase from 5.950% per annum to 6.200% per annum on April 1, 2021, and the interest rate on the 3.875% Notes will increase from 5.375% per annum to 5.625% per annum on May 15, 2021.

As previously announced, withdrawal rights for each of the Tender Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 19, 2021.

The Company will accept for purchase all $356,300,000 aggregate principle amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Time.

As previously announced, the consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will be the tender offer consideration for the applicable series of Notes set forth in the table above (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Tender Offer Consideration”). Holders of Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration plus the early tender premium for the applicable series of Notes set forth in the table above (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Early Tender Premium” and, together with the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, the “Total Consideration”).
