Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, each holder of the Notes who validly tenders and does not subsequently validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 3, 2024 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”) will be eligible to receive the “Total Consideration” for the Notes, which is $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes tendered. The Total Consideration includes the early tender premium for the Notes of $30.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes tendered (the “Early Tender Premium”).

The Total Offer Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be paid by Gray promptly following the Early Tender Date (the “Early Settlement Date”). Gray expects that the Early Settlement Date will be June 4, 2024, the first business day after the Early Tender Date, assuming all conditions to the Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived. The Tender Offer Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and on or before the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase will be paid by Gray promptly following the Expiration Date (the “Final Settlement Date”). Gray expects that the Final Settlement Date will be June 18, 2024, the first business day after the Expiration Date, assuming all conditions to the Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived and assuming all Notes are not purchased on the Early Settlement Date. No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Date.

The obligation of Gray to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon Gray raising funds for the purpose of financing the Tender Offer that is sufficient to pay the aggregate Tender Offer Consideration, including payment of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to all Notes and related costs and expenses (regardless of the amount of Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer) on terms and conditions acceptable to Gray, in its sole discretion. The Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn by Gray in its sole discretion.

King & Co. has been retained to serve as the Information Agent and Tender Agent for the Tender Offer.

Gray is making the Tender Offer only by, and pursuant to, the terms of the Offer to Purchase. None of Gray, the Dealer Managers, the Information Agent or the Tender Agent makes any recommendation as to whether holders of the Notes should tender or refrain from tendering their Notes. Holders of the Notes must make their own decision as to whether to tender Notes and, if so, the principal amount of the Notes to tender. The Tender Offer is not being made to holders of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the securities laws or blue sky laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of Gray by the Dealer Managers or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
