The amount of each Series of Notes accepted for purchase was determined
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer as set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated March 14, 2018 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and
the related Letter of Transmittal dated March 14, 2018 (the “Letter of
Transmittal”).

Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the account
of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust
Company, as applicable, and otherwise returned in accordance with the
Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before
the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will be eligible to
receive the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in
the Offer to Purchase), which includes an early tender premium of $30
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The applicable Total Tender Offer
Consideration will be determined by reference to a fixed spread
specified for such Series of Notes over the yield based on the bid-side
price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, as described in the
Offer to Purchase. The Total Tender Offer Consideration will be
calculated by the Dealer Managers (identified below) for the Tender
Offer at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, today, March 28, 2018. All
payments for Notes purchased in connection with the Early Tender
Deadline will also include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase from the last
interest payment date applicable to the relevant Series of Notes up to,
but not including, the early settlement date, which is currently
expected to be March 29, 2018. In accordance with the terms of the
Tender Offer, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on March 27, 2018. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be
withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional
withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company).

Although the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire one minute after 11:59
p.m., New York City time, on April 10, 2018, because holders of Notes
subject to the Tender Offer validly tendered and did not validly
withdraw Notes on or before the Early Tender Deadline in an amount that
exceeds the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the Company does not expect to
accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Deadline.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. are the
Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer. Barclays Capital Inc., Credit
Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., and Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC are the Co-Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer.
