In accordance with the terms of the 2025 Notes and the Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2015, among the Company, each of the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Indenture”), the 2025 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes, plus the applicable premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The applicable premium will be calculated in accordance with terms of the 2025 Notes and Indenture.

The Notice of Conditional Full Redemption is subject to the consummation, on or prior to the Redemption Date, of one or more debt financings providing gross proceeds to the Company in an aggregate amount of at least $800.0 million.
