The “Calculation Date” for a series of Notes is the date on which such Notes is assumed to be paid down for purposes of calculating the Total Consideration (as defined herein) in connection with such Notes.

The Offers are being made pursuant to the offer to purchase, dated April 22, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase,” as may be amended or supplemented from time to time), which sets forth in more detail the terms and conditions of the Offers.

The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated (such date and time, as the same may be extended with respect to the Offers, the “Expiration Date”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders of Notes that are validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2026, unless extended (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Early Tender Date”) and accepted for purchase shall be entitled to receive the total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes calculated in the manner set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the “Total Consideration”), which includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Early Tender Premium”). The Total Consideration will be equal to the price, determined in accordance with standard market practice, as described in the Offer to Purchase, that equates to a yield to the applicable Calculation Date equal to the applicable fixed spread specified for each such series of Notes over the applicable yield, which shall be based on the bid-side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2026 (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, such time and date, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Price Determination Date”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders of a series of Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but on or before the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase will receive only the applicable tender offer consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, which is equal to the Total Consideration applicable to that series of Notes minus the Early Tender Premium (the “Tender Offer Consideration”).

Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2026, unless extended (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Withdrawal Date”), but not thereafter.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Offers, the “Acceptance Priority Procedures” will operate as follows:

  • first, if the aggregate Total Consideration of all Notes validly tendered by holders at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Date does not exceed the Waterfall Cap, then CGMI will accept all such Notes. However, if the aggregate Total Consideration of all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Date by holders exceeds the Waterfall Cap (subject to any increase in such Waterfall Cap at CGMI’s discretion), then CGMI will (i) accept for purchase all validly tendered Notes of each series starting at the highest Acceptance Priority Level (level 1) and moving sequentially to Notes of each series having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (the lowest of which is level 3) until the aggregate Total Consideration of all validly tendered Notes of a series, combined with the aggregate Total Consideration of all accepted Notes of series with higher Acceptance Priority Levels, is as close as possible to, but does not exceed the Waterfall Cap, (ii) accept on a prorated basis validly tendered Notes of the series with the next lower Acceptance Priority Level and (iii) not accept for purchase (x) any such Notes of a series with an Acceptance Priority Level below the prorated series or (y) any Notes validly tendered after the applicable Early Tender Date; and
  • second, if the Waterfall Cap is not exceeded at the applicable Early Tender Date, CGMI will repeat the steps described in the prior bullet using the Tender Offer Consideration with respect to Notes validly tendered after the applicable Early Tender Date, but at or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, in order to determine the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that CGMI will accept for purchase. All Notes, regardless of Acceptance Priority Level, that are validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Date will have priority over any Notes validly tendered after the applicable Early Tender Date.

CGMI reserves the right, but is under no obligation, at any point following the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date, to accept for purchase any Notes of a series tendered and not subsequently withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date. Any such notes so accepted will be settled on a date (the “Early Settlement Date”) that will be determined at CGMI’s option and is currently expected to occur on May 11, 2026, subject to all conditions to the Offers having been either satisfied or waived by CGMI. If the Offers are fully subscribed up to the Waterfall Cap as of the Early Tender Date, then any Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will not be accepted for purchase.

Irrespective of whether CGMI elects to have an Early Settlement Date, CGMI will purchase any remaining Notes that have been validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and that CGMI chooses to accept for purchase, subject to all conditions to the Offers having been either satisfied or waived by CGMI, promptly following the Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”). Payment for purchased Notes will include accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including the Early Settlement Date or Settlement Date, as applicable.

Subject to applicable law, CGMI may increase the Waterfall Cap at any time prior to the Settlement Date.

The obligation of CGMI to accept for purchase, and to pay for Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offers is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. CGMI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any one or more of the conditions at any time.
