None of the Company, its board of directors or its employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the Repurchase Right.

The Repurchase Right entitles each holder of the Notes to require the Company to repurchase all of such holder's Notes or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of US$1,000 principal amount at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes, provided that such accrued and unpaid interest (if any) will not be paid to the holder submitting the Notes for repurchase on May 1, 2022 but will be paid to the holder of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, April 15, 2022. The Repurchase Date is an interest payment date under the terms of the Indenture and the Notes. Accordingly, on May 2, 2022, which is the next succeeding business day after the Repurchase Date, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes through April 30, 2022, to all holders who were holders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, April 15, 2022, regardless of whether the Repurchase Right is exercised with respect to such Notes.

If all outstanding Notes are surrendered for repurchase through exercise of the Repurchase Right, the aggregate cash purchase price will be US$108,718,000.00 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest).

The opportunity for holders of the Notes to exercise the Repurchase Right commences at 9:00 a.m., New York City time today, April 1, 2022, and will terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, April 28, 2022.
