The Cash Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 11, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company. Holders of Notes described in the table above may withdraw their validly tendered Notes at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 11, 2025, unless extended by the Company. In order to receive the Tender Consideration, Holders of Notes must tender and not withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date.

The Settlement Date will be the first business day after the Expiration Date and is expected to be July 14, 2025.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the Offer Cap and the Diamond Power Closing Condition (as defined below), Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Cash Offers will receive the Tender Consideration described in the above table (the “Tender Consideration”) for each $25 principal amount of such Notes in cash on the Settlement Date. Our obligation to complete the Cash Offers is conditioned on the consummation, prior to or concurrently with the Expiration Date, of (i) the sale, to certain legal entities affiliated with Andritz AG, of the equity interests of Diamond Power International, LLC (“Diamond Power”) and related legal entities, together with assets related to the Diamond Power business and (ii) the receipt of net proceeds from such sale in an amount sufficient to fund the Cash Offers, assuming the maximum Tender Consideration of $70 million (the “Diamond Power Closing Condition”).

In addition to the Tender Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive a cash payment equal to the Accrued Coupon Payment, representing accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Notes to, but excluding, the Settlement Date. Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Cash Offers.

The Company’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for Notes of any series validly tendered in the Cash Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including that the aggregate Tender Consideration for Notes purchased in the Cash Offers not exceeding $70 million, and that the Diamond Power Closing Condition shall have been satisfied. Subject to applicable law, the Company reserves the right to (i) extend any or all of the Cash Offers; (ii) waive any and all conditions to or amend any or all of the Cash Offers in any respect; or (iii) terminate any or all of the Cash Offers.
