The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time prior to March 23, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 50% of the principal amount of the Notes, or (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined in the Notes), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis using a discount rate equal to the sum of the average of the three quotations of the average midmarket annual yield to maturity on an Actual/Actual (ICMA) basis of the DBR 0.500% due February 15, 2026 (or if that security is no longer outstanding, a similar security), plus 0.25%, plus in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.
In addition, the Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 23, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) at a redemption price equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the date of the redemption.
