Information on the Tender Offer
The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 10, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated by Embraer (such time and date, as it may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). Holders of Notes who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2022, unless extended by Embraer (such time and date, as it may be extended, the "Early Tender Date") will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration for such Notes, which includes the Early Tender Payment, plus the applicable Accrued Interest. Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase dated February10, 2022 and relating to the Tender Offer (the "Offer to Purchase") will not be eligible to receive the Early Tender Payment and will therefore only be eligible to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, plus the applicable Accrued Interest. Validly tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to the Early Tender Date but not thereafter, except as may be required by applicable law (as determined by Embraer).
If the aggregate principal amount of a series of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, represents consideration that exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, a prorated amount of Notes of such series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders at or prior to the Early Tender Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, will be accepted for purchase.
Settlement
Holders of Notes that have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase shall, if Embraer so elects, receive the applicable Total Consideration, plus the applicable Accrued Interest, on the early settlement date, which date will be three business days following the Early Tender Date but before the Expiration Date (the "Early Settlement Date"). If Embraer does not, in its sole discretion, elect to pay for such tendered Notes prior to the Expiration Date, then the Early Settlement Date will be the same as the final settlement date, which date will be two business days following the Expiration Date (the "Final Settlement Date" and, together with the Early Settlement Date, each a "Settlement Date").
Conditions to the Tender Offer
Embraer's obligation to purchase Notes in the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes of such series or of the other series. However, the Tender Offer is subject to the Maximum Tender Amount. Embraer reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law. In the event of a termination of the Tender Offer, neither the applicable consideration nor Accrued Interest will be paid or become payable to the holders of the applicable series of Notes, and the Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering holders. Embraer has the right, in its sole discretion, to not to accept any tenders of Notes for any reason and to amend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time.
Subsequent Redemptions or Repurchases
From time to time after consummation, termination or withdrawal of the Tender Offer, Embraer or any of its affiliates may acquire Notes that are not tendered or not accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer through open-market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as Embraer or such affiliate may determine (or as may be provided for in the respective indenture governing the Notes), which may be more or less than the applicable purchase price to be paid pursuant to the Tender Offer and could be for cash or other consideration. It is currently Embraer's intention, but Embraer is under no obligation, to redeem the 2022 Notes via the make-whole call following the consummation, termination or withdrawal of the Tender Offer. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives or combinations thereof Embraer or its affiliates may choose to pursue in the future.
