All terms used and not defined in the preceding paragraphs have the
meanings given to them under the Exchange Notes Indenture, which is attached to the June 6-K as an exhibit and incorporated herein by
reference.
Adjustment of Conversion Rate
As previously announced through the June 6-K,
on June 20, 2024, the Company entered into (i) a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture
dated as of August 17, 2022, as amended and/or supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof (the “Amended 1L Notes
Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, relating to the Company’s Variable-Rate
Convertible First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Amended 1L Notes”); and (ii) an indenture (the “New
1L Notes Indenture”), dated as of June 20, 2024, among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and,
solely with respect to the Philippine collateral, RCBC Trust Corporation as supplemental collateral trustee, relating to the Company’s
9.00% Convertible First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “New 1L Notes”).
Each of the Amended 1L Notes Indenture, New 1L
Notes Indenture and Exchange Notes Indenture provides that in the event that the FPA VWAP is less than the Initial Pricing VWAP, the Conversion
Rate of the Amended 1L Notes, the New 1L Notes and the Tranche B Exchange Notes, as applicable, will be adjusted to a number of Ordinary
Shares equal to (i) one thousand dollars ($1,000) divided by (ii) the FPA VWAP.
The Company determined that as of August 28, 2024,
the date when the FPA VWAP became determinable and was determined by the Company, the FPA VWAP was $0.1608, which was less than the Initial
Pricing VWAP under each of the Amended 1L Notes Indenture, New 1L Notes Indenture and Exchange Notes Indenture, and as such, effective
as of the Open of Business on August 30, 2024, the Conversion Rate of each of the Amended 1L Notes, the New 1L Notes and the Tranche B
Exchange Notes will be adjusted to 6,218.9055 Ordinary Shares.
All terms used and not defined in the preceding paragraphs have the
meanings given to them under the Amended 1L Notes Indenture, the New 1L Notes Indenture and the Exchange Notes Indenture, as applicable,
which are attached to the June 6-K as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.
