Should the Settlement Date be amended, the Purchase Price in respect of the 2020 Notes will be recalculated and will be announced as further described herein. Rationale for the Offers The purpose of the Offers is to proactively manage the Offeror's debt redemptions and to extend the debt maturity profile of the Offeror. In conjunction with the Offers, the Offeror announced on 31 August 2018 its intention to issue new euro-denominated senior notes (the "New Notes"). Proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes will be used for purchasing the Notes in the Offer. Notes purchased by the Offeror pursuant to the Offers will be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-sold. Notes which have not been validly offered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will remain outstanding. New Financing Condition The Offeror is not under any obligation to accept for purchase any Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers. Whether the Offeror will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offers is subject (unless such condition is waived by the Offeror in its sole and absolute discretion), to the successful completion of the issue of the New Notes or other such financing as the Offeror may determine on terms acceptable to it (in each case determined by the Offeror in its sole and absolute discretion) (the "New Financing Condition"). Details of the Offers Aggregate Consideration Amount and Final Acceptance Amount The Offeror proposes to accept for purchase pursuant to the Offers, an aggregate principal amount of Notes such that the total amount payable by the Offeror for all Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers (excluding 1
Accrued Interest Payments in respect of such Notes) is no greater than 300,000,000 (the "Aggregate Consideration Amount"). The Offeror reserves the right, in its sole discretion and for any reason, to accept valid tenders for purchase pursuant to the Offers in respect of an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would result in the total amount payable by the Offeror for the Notes being significantly less than or significantly more than the Aggregate Consideration Amount (the final aggregate amount of the Notes so accepted being the "Final Acceptance Amount"). The Offeror will determine the allocation of funds between the Notes of each Series in accordance with the Order of Priority and acceptance of tenders may be subject to scaling. Order of Priority If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered by Noteholders would result in the total amount payable by the Offeror for the Notes (if all such Notes were accepted for purchase) exceeding the Aggregate Consideration Amount, the Offeror will accept valid tenders of Notes in the following order of priority (the "Order of Priority") as follows: (a) (b) valid tenders of 2020 Notes will be accepted by the Offeror first; and valid tenders of 2022 Notes will be accepted by the Offeror second, provided that: (i) (ii) the aggregate amount payable by the Offeror for the Notes of both Series to be purchased by the Offeror pursuant to the Offers does not exceed the Aggregate Consideration Amount; and if the aggregate amount that would be payable by the Offeror for Notes validly offered and accepted for purchase by the Offeror is greater than the Aggregate Consideration Amount, the Offeror intends to accept valid tenders of Notes in accordance with the Order of Priority up to the Aggregate Consideration Amount, subject to scaling. Scaling (pro rata allocations) If the aggregate principal amount of a Series of Notes validly tendered by Noteholders pursuant to the relevant Offer exceeds the relevant Series Acceptance Amount, the Offeror will accept the offered Notes of such Series on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series accepted for purchase is no greater than the relevant Series Acceptance Amount. In the circumstances described in the Tender Offer Memorandum in which Notes of a Series validly tendered pursuant to an Offer are to be accepted on a pro rata basis (which may result from the application of the Order of Priority and Aggregate Consideration Amount), each valid Tender Instruction in respect of the relevant Series will be scaled by a factor (the "Pro-ration factor") equal to (i) the relevant Series Acceptance Amount divided by (ii) the aggregate original principal amount of the Notes of the relevant Series that have been validly tendered. Each tender of Notes that is scaled in this manner will be rounded to the nearest EUR1,000 in nominal amount. In addition, in the event of any such scaling, the Offeror intends to apply pro rata scaling to each valid tender of Notes in such a manner as will result in both (a) the relevant Noteholder transferring Notes to the Offeror in an aggregate nominal amount of at least EUR100,000 (being the minimum denomination of the Notes) and (b) the relevant Noteholder's residual amount of Notes (being the nominal amount of the Notes the subject of the relevant Tender Instruction that are not accepted for purchase by virtue of such scaling) amounting to either (i) at least EUR100,000 or (ii) EUR0, and the Offeror therefore intends to adjust the Pro-ration factor applicable to any relevant Tender Instruction accordingly. Purchase Prices The Offeror will pay, for the Notes accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, a price (the relevant "Purchase Price", expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the relevant Note and rounded to the third decimal place, with 0.0005 per cent. being rounded upwards) to be determined at or around the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to the relevant Purchase Yield. The 2020 Purchase Yield shall be 0 per cent and the 2022 Purchase Yield shall be the sum of (i) the 2022 Purchase Spread and (ii) the 2022 Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate. For information purposes only, the Purchase Price in respect of the 2020 Notes would be 106.422 per cent. assuming a Settlement Date of 11 September 2018 when determined in the manner described herein. Should the Settlement Date be amended, the Purchase Price in respect of the 2020 Notes will be recalculated and will be announced as further described herein. 2
The Purchase Price in respect of the 2022 Notes will be determined at the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date as described below in accordance with market convention, and is intended to reflect a yield to the Par Call Date of the 2022 Notes on the Settlement Date equal to the 2022 Purchase Yield. Specifically, the Purchase Price for the 2022 Notes will equal (i) the value of all remaining payments of principal and interest on the 2022 Notes up to and including the Par Call Date of the 2022 Notes, discounted to the Settlement Date at a discount rate equal to the 2022 Purchase Yield, minus (ii) the relevant Accrued Interest. See "Accrued Interest Payment" below. The calculation of the relevant Purchase Yield, Purchase Price and Accrued Interest for each Series of Notes will be made by the Dealer Managers on behalf of the Offeror, and such calculations will be final and binding on the Noteholders, absent manifest error. Accrued Interest Payment The Offeror will also pay Accrued Interest in respect of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Aggregate Consideration Amount proposed by the Offeror excludes amounts available for Accrued Interest Payments. Tender Instructions In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the relevant Purchase Price pursuant to an Offer, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by 5.00 p.m. (CET) on 7 September 2018. Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Tender Instructions in respect of any Series must be submitted in respect of a minimum principal amount of Notes of the relevant Series of no less 100,000, being the minimum denomination of each Series, and may thereafter be submitted in integral multiples of 1,000 in excess of the relevant minimum denomination. Preference in Allocation of New Notes The Offeror intends in connection with the allocation of the New Notes to consider, among other factors, whether or not the relevant investor seeking an allocation of the New Notes has also validly tendered or indicated their firm intention to the Dealer Mangers to tender their 2020 Notes pursuant to the Offers. When considering allocation of the New Notes, the Offeror intends to give preference to those Noteholders who, prior to such allocation, have validly tendered or indicated their firm intention to the Dealer Managers to tender their 2020 Notes and subscribe for New Notes. However, no assurances can be given that any Noteholder that tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender their 2020 Notes will be given an allocation of New Notes at the levels it may subscribe for, or at all.
