The redemption of each series of Notes is subject to certain conditions, including the successful completion of one or more potential debt refinancing transactions in amounts sufficient to pay the redemption price of each series of Notes, as applicable. The conditional notice of redemption may be rescinded or amended under certain circumstances and, in LGCH’s or the Company’s discretion, as applicable, the redemption date for a series of Notes may be delayed until such time as the applicable conditions are satisfied. The completion of one or more debt refinancing transactions is subject to market and other conditions and may not occur as described or at all.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each conditional notice of redemption.

Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties.

Actual results in the future could differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including the risk factors as set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2021. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.
