PSH will also pay Accrued Interest (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent rounded upwards) in respect of all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by PSH pursuant to the Offer from (and including) the immediately preceding interest payment date, to (but excluding) the Settlement Date. Notes tendered through the guaranteed delivery procedures will not receive accrued interest from the Settlement Date through the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date (if different).
The Offer will expire, unless terminated earlier, at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on September 29, 2021 or at such other date or time to which the Offer may be extended, reopened, amended and/or terminated by PSH as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum (such applicable date and time, the “Expiration Deadline”).
Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time prior to or at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) September 29, 2021, as may be extended or otherwise amended by PSH in accordance with the Tender Offer Memorandum (such applicable date and time, the “Withdrawal Deadline”) but not thereafter. Holders that validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes prior to or on the Expiration Deadline and have their tenders accepted by PSH will be eligible to receive the Consideration (as defined below) plus Accrued Interest (as defined below).
Notes tendered prior to the Withdrawal Deadline may be withdrawn at any time prior to or at the Withdrawal Deadline, which is contemporaneous with the Expiration Deadline. If the Offer is extended, PSH will amend the Withdrawal Deadline applicable to the Offer such that Notes validly tendered in respect of the Offer prior to or at the original Withdrawal Deadline (including Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures) may be validly withdrawn at any time before the earlier of (i) the Expiration Deadline (as so extended) and (ii) the tenth Business Day after the Launch Date. The Notes may also be validly withdrawn at any time in the event the Offer has not been consummated within 60 Business Days after the Launch Date.
A Holder who desires to tender its Notes but either cannot comply with the applicable procedures for book-entry transfer or time will not permit such Notes to be tendered on or before the Expiration Deadline, may effect a Tender pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The delivery of Notes tendered by the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures must be made no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the Expiration Deadline, expected to be October 1, 2021 (such applicable date and time, the “Guaranteed Delivery Deadline”).
PSH’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions as discussed the Tender Offer Memorandum.
