The Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2021 (the "Expiration Date"). The settlement date with respect to the Offers is expected to occur on June 11, 2021 (the "Settlement Date").
The Offers were made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated June 2, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase" and, together with the accompanying notice of guaranteed delivery, the "Offer Documents").
In order to be eligible to participate in the Offers, holders of Notes reflected in notices of guaranteed delivery received by PGF prior to the Expiration Date must deliver such Notes to PGF by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 10, 2021 (the "Guaranteed Delivery Date").
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, because the purchase of all Notes validly tendered in the Offers would cause PGF to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would result in an aggregate amount to be paid by PGF in excess of the Maximum Consideration described in the Offer to Purchase, PGF has accepted for purchase all of the Notes validly tendered, and expects to accept all of the Notes for which PGF received notices of guaranteed delivery and that are delivered on or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Date, in Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 10, 12 and 13 (the "Covered Notes"). PGF has rejected all of the Notes, including Notes for which PGF received notices of guaranteed delivery, in Acceptance Priority Level 11 (the "Non-Covered Notes"). Non-Covered Notes will be returned or credited without expense to the holders' accounts promptly after the Expiration Date. The principal amount of Covered Notes that will be purchased by PGF on the Settlement Date is subject to change based on deliveries of Covered Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase. A press release announcing the final results of the Offers is expected to be issued on or promptly after the Settlement Date.
The total cash payment to purchase on the Settlement Date the Covered Notes, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, will be approximately US$2,469.9 million
All conditions described in the Offer to Purchase that were to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Expiration Date have been satisfied.
