Subject to the General Conditions set out in “The Offer—Conditions to the Offer” in the Offer to Purchase having been satisfied or otherwise waived by Studio City Finance, as the case may be, Studio City Finance expects to accept for purchase the Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer by the Early Tender Date for a combined aggregate principal amount equal to the Maximum Tender Amount.
