On February 18, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”), the Company accepted for exchange a total of US$616,984,000 aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Participation Deadline in the Exchange Offer, representing approximately 86.13% of the total aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes outstanding, and issued US$491,853,000 aggregate principal amount of New Notes. The Company has accepted for exchange all US$11,717,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Participation Deadline and on or before the Expiration Deadline, resulting in a total acceptance of US$628,701,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer, and expected issuance of a total of US$503,570,000 aggregate principal amount of New Notes.   The final settlement of the Exchange Offer and the Solicitation of Consents, and the issuance of the additional US$11,717,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Notes, is expected to occur on March 2, 2026 (the “Settlement Date”), which is the first business day after the Expiration Deadline.   The Company did not accept US$19,756,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Participation Deadline, because acceptance of those Existing Notes would otherwise have resulted in the issuance of less than the minimum denomination of US$200,000 in principal amount of New Notes to such Eligible Holders. After the completion of the Exchange Offer, US$87,639,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes will remain outstanding, representing approximately 12.23% of the total aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes outstanding at the beginning of the Exchange Offer.
