Annex A to this release contains matrices indicating the nominal dollar prices associated with tenders made pursuant to the Dutch Auction Offer at different premiums for each series of debt securities per $1,000 principal amount of debt securities (including the $50 early tender premium) and excluding accrued and unpaid interest. Debt securities tendered after the Early Tender Date will receive $50 less than amounts listed in Annex A.
The Dutch Auction Offer will expire at 12:00 Midnight EDT on June 21, 2010, unless extended. Holders of debt securities subject to the Dutch Auction Offer must validly tender and not validly withdraw their debt securities before 5:00 p.m. EDT on June 7, 2010, unless extended, to be eligible to receive the applicable Dutch Auction Offer Total Consideration, which includes an Early Tender Premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of debt securities accepted for purchase pursuant to the Dutch Auction Offer. Holders of debt securities subject to the Dutch Auction Offer who validly tender their debt securities after 5:00 p.m. EDT on June 7, 2010 (the "Early Tender Date") and before the Dutch Auction Offer Expiration Date will only be eligible to receive an amount equal to the applicable Dutch Auction Offer Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium.
Debt securities subject to the Dutch Auction Offer tendered before the Early Tender Date may be validly withdrawn at any time before 5:00 p.m. EDT on the Early Tender Date, but not thereafter unless otherwise required by applicable law. Debt securities subject to the Dutch Auction Offer tendered after the Early Tender Date may not be validly withdrawn, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Under the modified "Dutch Auction" procedure, Motorola will accept debt securities validly tendered in the order of lowest to highest premiums specified by the Holders and will select the single lowest premium that will enable Motorola to purchase debt securities in the Dutch Auction Offer in an aggregate principal amount up to the Tender Cap. Holders who tender their debt securities without specifying a premium will be deemed to have specified a premium of zero basis points.
