(NYSE:BHC)(TSX:BHC) (the &#34;Company&#34;) announced today the results to date of its previously announced offers to exchange the Company's outstanding 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the &#34;4.875% Notes&#34;) and 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the &#34;11.00% Notes&#34; and together with the 4.875% Notes, the &#34;Existing Senior Secured Notes&#34;) for up to $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount (the &#34;Maximum Notes Amount&#34;) of new 10.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the &#34;New Notes&#34; and, such offers, the &#34;Offers&#34;) to be issued by the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary 1261229 B.C. Ltd. (together with the Company, the &#34;Offerors&#34;), in each case, pursuant to the terms described in a confidential exchange offer memorandum dated November 24, 2025 (the &#34;Exchange Offer Memorandum&#34;). All terms and conditions of the Offers remain unchanged as set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.As reported by D.F. King &amp; Co., Inc., the exchange agent and information agent for the Offers, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2025 (the &#34;Early Tender Time&#34;), an aggregate principal amount of $2,690,016,000 of Existing Senior Secured Notes had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Offers, as set forth in the table below.<table><tbody><tr><td>Series of Existing Senior Secured Notes</td><td>CUSIP Number(1) (Rule 144A/Reg S)</td><td>Principal Amount Outstanding</td><td>Principal Amount Tendered</td></tr><tr><td>BHC 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2028</td><td>071734AQ0 / C07885AL7</td><td>$1,774,067,000</td><td>$1,519,477,000</td></tr><tr><td>BHC 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2028</td><td>071734AN7 / C07885AJ2</td><td>$1,600,000,000</td><td>$1,170,539,000</td></tr></tbody></table>(1) No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers listed in this press release or printed on the Existing Senior Secured Notes. They are provided solely for convenience.Based on the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Senior Secured Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Offers as of the Early Tender Time and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, including the Maximum Notes Amount and Target Ratio (each as defined in the Exchange Offer Memorandum) and proration, we would expect approximately $1,600 million of New Notes to be issued in the Offers.Withdrawal rights for the Offers expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2025 (the &#34;Withdrawal Deadline&#34;). Because the Withdrawal Deadline is not being extended, holders may not withdraw previously tendered Existing Senior Secured Notes, and any tenders after the Withdrawal Deadline may not be withdrawn except as may be required by law.Each Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 23, 2025, or any other date and time to which the Offerors extend such offer in their discretion subject to the terms of a transaction support agreement, dated November 24, 2025 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the &#34;Expiration Time&#34;). Since the aggregate principal amount of Existing Senior Secured Notes tendered before the Early Tender Time would otherwise result in issuance of New Notes in an aggregate principal amount that exceeds the Maximum Notes Amount, any Existing Senior Secured Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time but prior to the Expiration Time will not be accepted for purchase in the Offers. Subject to all conditions of the Offers having been either satisfied or waived by the Offerors, the settlement date is expected to be within three business days following the Expiration Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter.The Offers of the New Notes are only made to eligible holders of Existing Senior Secured Notes who are either (a) persons who are reasonably believed to be &#34;qualified institutional buyers&#34; (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) that are also &#34;qualified purchasers&#34; (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and to whom the New Notes are offered in the United States in a transaction not involving a public offering, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or (b) persons other than &#34;U.S. persons&#34; (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) who agree to purchase the New Notes outside of the United States, and who are otherwise in compliance with the requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act and to whom the New Notes are offered outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act; provided that, in each case, if such holder is resident in Canada, such holder is required to complete, sign and submit to the exchange agent a Canadian holder form, which may be obtained from the information agent.
