The consent solicitations with respect to each series of Consenting Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on September 26, 2025 (the "Expiration Date"), and revocation rights with respect to consents validly delivered in respect of the Consenting Notes have terminated. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Statement, Ashtead Capital will pay eligible holders of the Consenting Notes who validly delivered and did not revoke consents on or prior to the Expiration Date a cash payment equal to $1.00 for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Consenting Notes for which such holders validly delivered and did not revoke consents (the "Consent Fee"). Ashtead Capital will deliver its respective Consent Fee to Depository Trust Company ("DTC") on September 29, 2025, and expects distribution of such fee by DTC to consenting holders to occur promptly afterward.
The supplemental indentures to be executed in connection with the completion of the consent solicitations will bind all holders of the Consenting Notes, including those that did not give their consent, but holders who did not deliver consents prior to the Expiration Date (or delivered consents but properly revoked them) will not receive the Consent Fee.
