Additionally, many of these risks and un certainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID - 19 pandemic. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. There may be additi onal risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. In addition, some of our executive officers and directors have not sold their shares in us since the beginning of the COVID - 19 pandemic as a gesture of s upport for our Company as they navigated us through unprecedented challenges. Now that we have resumed operations, we anticipate that our executive officers and directors may sell shares under Rule 10b5 - 1 p lans beginning in the first quarter of 2022 as part of their ordinary course financial planning. The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks emerge from time to time. Such forward - looking statements are base d on our current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we expect to operate in the future. These f orw ard - looking statements speak only as of the date made. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change of events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement was based, except as required by law. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT 2

 

 

KEY TRANSACTION POINTS 3 1 Primary purpose of transactions was liability management. 2 We issued new 1.125% exchangeable notes due 2027 to repurchase the majority of our existing 6% exchangeable notes due 2024. We have the ability to settle our new exchangeable notes in cash, at our full discretion, to limit shareholder dilution. The 6% exchangeable notes can only be settled in ordinary shares and are deeply in - the - money. 3 We issued ordinary shares directly to certain of our existing 6% exchangeable note holders (with no fee or discount) to facil ita te the repurchase of the majority of these notes and allow these holders to close out their existing hedges. 4 We are using a portion of the proceeds of the equity offering to repurchase 35% of each of our existing 12.25% and 10.25% high - cost bonds using the equity claw provision (at a price well below where they currently trade). Net result of the transaction is substantially reduced interest expense, reduced leverage, reduced dilutive share count 1 , extended debt maturities and increased liquidity 1 Assuming settlement of the new 1.125% exchangeable notes entirely in cash. Actual number of shares issued upon settlement may d iffer.
