On October 1, 2012, the Company priced New Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$850,000,000, and the underwriting agreement relating thereto among the Company and the underwriters was executed. The New Notes are expected to be issued on October 5, 2012, and thus early or final settlement of the Offer remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Tender Offer Memorandum, including the Financing Condition.

Pursuant to the Tender Offer Memorandum, the Reference Yield and the Full Tender Offer Consideration per €1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be calculated at 14:00 hours CET (8:00 a.m., New York City) on October 2, 2012 (the “Price Determination Time”). The early results and pricing of the Offer will be announced promptly after the Price Determination Time.

The Company intends to accept all valid early tenders received, but as noted above, this acceptance remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Tender Offer Memorandum, including the Financing Condition. The Early Settlement Date for Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Acceptance Date, if any, is expected to be October 5, 2012, but may change depending on when (or if) the Financing Condition is satisfied.

The Offer will expire at 17:00 hours CET (11:00 a.m., New York City time), on October 16, 2012, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company, and the Final Settlement Date, if any, is expected to be October 18, 2012, but also may change depending on when (or if) the Financing Condition referred to above is satisfied and also depending on the amount of Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time.
