The Company has amended the terms of the Tender Offer to increase the Maximum Tender Offer Amount from $175 million to $250 million. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in an Offer to Purchase dated July 14, 2025, as modified by this release, the 'Offer to Purchase'. The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition (as described herein). Capitalized terms used in this press release and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Although the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2025 (the 'Expiration Date'), because holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes on or before the Early Tender Date in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the Issuer does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Date.

In addition to the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration, all holders of Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date will receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes purchased from the last interest payment date with respect to such Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The total principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date has an aggregate purchase price exceeding the Maximum Tender Offer Amount. As a result, and based on the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer: all of the 6.790% Senior Debentures due 2027 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date; all of the 7.875% Senior Debentures due 2030 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date; all of the 7.875% Senior Exchanged Debentures due 2030 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date; $223,883,000 aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2030 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date; and no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) will be accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer. Any Notes tendered but not accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
