Reference is made to the Company's announcement ("Announcement") dated October 19, 2022 and the offer to purchase dated October 19, 2022, as amended and supplemented by Supplement no. 1 dated October 25, 2022, Supplement no. 2 dated November 2, 2022, Supplement no. 3 dated November 18, 2022, Supplement no. 4 dated November 30, 2022 and Supplement no. 5 dated December 14, 2022, and as amended and restated on January 26, 2023 and further supplemented by Supplement No. 7 dated February 9, 2023 (the "Offer to Purchase") in relation to the Tender Offer.

Expiration and Results of Tender Offer

The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on February 17, 2023 (the "Expiration Date").

As of the Expiration Date, US$7,055,202 in principal amount of the Notes have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Company believes that this is a satisfactory outcome given market conditions. Having further considered the terms of the Tender Offer and the prices of the Notes in the market, the Company has decided to not extend the Tender Offer and to purchase such Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn. The Company may pursue other liability management exercises from time to time on an opportunistic basis.

Settlement

The Company will accept for purchase and pay for all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Total Consideration for the Notes is US$860 for each US$1,000 in principal amount of the Notes, which includes the Early Participation Amount. Accordingly, on the Payment Date which is expected to be February 23, 2023, the Company will pay (i) the Total Consideration for all such Notes accepted for purchase, and (ii) unpaid cash interest on those Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Payment Date.

The Company will arrange for cancellation of all Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer, and any Notes not validly tendered will remain outstanding and accrue interest in accordance with their terms.
