The Exchange Offers expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 10, 2025. On March 11, 2025, we issued a press releasing announcing the expiration and results of the Exchange Offers, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01. On March 12, 2025, we completed the settlement of the Exchange Offers. The Company received the following aggregate principal amounts of Existing Notes accepted for exchange, and delivered the following aggregate principal amounts of New Notes in exchange therefor:

The Exchange Offers have expired, and are no longer open to participation by eligible holders of the Existing Notes. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Exchange Offers were made, and the New Notes and related guarantees were offered and issued, only to holders of Existing Notes who certified to the Company that they were (a) in the U.S. and are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (b) outside the U.S. and who were non-U.S. persons in reliance upon and in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act or (c) institutions and holders of the Existing Notes that could certify they were institutional “accredited investors” as defined in subparagraph (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
