The company announced that it has amended the terms of the Tender Offer and that the "Maximum Amount" for the Notes is being increased from $1,000,000,000 to $1,560,004,000. Additionally, the aggregate principal amount of the Priority 1 Notes that the company will purchase in the Tender Offer is being increased from $500,000,000 to $534,883,000. All other terms of the Tender Offer, as previously announced, remain unchanged.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the company expects that it will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Deadline in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Maximum Amount. The settlement for the Notes accepted by the company in connection with the Early Tender Deadline is currently expected to take place on January 27, 2014 (the "Settlement Date"). The Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn, unless otherwise required by law.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on February 6, 2014, unless extended (the "Expiration Time"). However, as the company intends, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, to accept for purchase the Maximum Amount on the Settlement Date, further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Time will not be accepted for purchase. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered, and the Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn in whole or with respect to one or more series of Notes. The amounts of each series of Notes that are purchased on the Settlement Date will be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase. It is expected that the Priority 1 Notes will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 30.7 percent.

The company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase under the heading "Terms of the Tender Offer--Conditions to the Tender Offer".

The Tender Offer, as amended hereby, is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated January 9, 2014 (the "Offer to Purchase") and related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which set forth a description of the other terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The Tender Offer is being made solely pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, as amended hereby.
