Extension of the Expiration Date

We are extending the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer.

All references to the Expiration Date in the Prospectus are hereby amended such that the Expiration Date will be 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, March 30, 2020. Accordingly, holders who tender their Old Notes prior to such time will receive the Early Exchange Consideration, which means for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered (and not withdrawn) prior to the Expiration Date, either $735 principal amount of Senior Secured Notes or $1,000 principal amount of the Junior Secured Notes, depending upon the election of the holder. Other than the extension of the Expiration Date described herein, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer remain as set forth in the Prospectus.
