The "Tender Offer Consideration" listed in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, was determined in the manner described in the Offer Documents by reference to the fixed spread for the Notes specified in the table above plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 12, 2022.
Holders must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) or deliver a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for their Notes at or before the Expiration Date in order to be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration. In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the purchased Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). Motiva expects the Settlement Date to occur on September 14, 2022. Notes tendered by Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and accepted for purchase will be purchased on September 16, 2022, but payment of accrued interest on such Notes will only be made to, but not including, the Settlement Date.
The consummation of the Offer is neither conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered nor is it subject to a financing condition. However, it is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
Motiva has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. ("D.F. King") as the tender agent and information agent for the Offer. Motiva has retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as the dealer manager for the Offer.
