No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Time. Payment for the Notes that are validly tendered prior to or at the Expiration Time and that are accepted for purchase will be made on a date promptly following the Expiration Time, which is currently anticipated to be September 6, 2023, the second business day after the Expiration Time.
