Accordingly, the Settlement Dates for the three series of Any and All Consent Notes may be different. Any extension of a Settlement Date in respect of one or more series of Any and All Consent Notes will not result in an extension of the Settlement Date in respect of the 2024 Notes unless otherwise announced by the Company.
