Rationale for the Offers

The Offers are being made by CBOM on behalf of CBM in order to decrease the cost of capital and optimise the capital structure of the latter, and provide a degree of liquidity to the Noteholders.

Immediately after the Settlement Date, CBOM intends to (i) cancel the repurchased Rule 144A Notes which were held by the Noteholders via The Depository Trust Company; and (ii) transfer the rest of the repurchased Notes to CBM. CBM intends to hold the rest of the purchased Notes for its own account and may sell or cancel them in the future.
