(NYSE: ET) for new senior notes to be issued by ETO (collectively, the “New ETO Notes”), and the related solicitations of consents to amend the indenture governing the Existing ET Notes (together, the “Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations”), it has received the requisite number of consents to adopt certain amendments to the indentures governing the Existing ET Notes, subject to each holder’s right to withdraw previously tendered Existing ET Notes.
Based upon the substantial participation to date and the amendments contemplated in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, ETO is allowing additional time for investors to participate on the same terms as the approximately 97% of holders of Existing ET Notes that have already agreed to exchange by extending the deadline to receive the Early Tender Premium (as defined below) to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 22, 2019, the same time as the Expiration Deadline (as defined below) for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, unless further extended.

The early consent deadline had been 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 8, 2019 (the “Original Early Tender Deadline”). The aggregate principal amount of the Existing ET Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Original Early Tender Deadline is listed in the table below.
