The consent solicitation for the 2015 Notes (the “2015 Notes Consent Solicitation”) is being made solely on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the consent solicitation statement for the 2015 Notes (the “2015 Notes Consent Solicitation Statement”) dated November 28, 2016.

The principal purpose of the 2015 Notes Consent Solicitation is to effect a technical change to an Event of Default provision in the 2015 Notes Indenture relating to payment default and cross-acceleration with respect to indebtedness guaranteed by the Company or SoftBank Corp.

The 2015 Notes Indenture requires the valid consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2015 Notes for the adoption of the 2015 Notes Proposed Amendment and for the execution of a supplemental indenture giving effect to the 2015 Notes Proposed Amendment. The 2015 Notes Proposed Amendments may be adopted without regard to whether the amendments proposed in the 2013 Notes Consent Solicitation are adopted. For further details of the 2015 Notes Proposed Amendment, holders of the 2015 Notes should refer to the 2015 Notes Consent Solicitation Statement.

The Company will make a cash payment equal to $2.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of dollar-denominated 2015 Notes and €2.50 per €1,000 in principal amount of euro-denominated 2015 Notes (collectively, the “2015 Notes Consent Consideration”) to holders who have properly delivered (and not validly revoked) their valid consent to the 2015 Notes Proposed Amendment prior to 4:00 p.m. London time on December 9, 2016 unless the 2015 Notes Consent Solicitation is extended or terminated earlier (the “2015 Notes Expiration Date”), provided that the conditions described in the 2015 Notes Consent Solicitation Statement are satisfied or waived by the Company prior to the 2015 Notes Expiration Date and a supplemental indenture is executed and becomes effective, as described in the 2015 Notes Consent Solicitation Statement. The Company intends to pay the 2015 Notes Consent Consideration promptly following the 2015 Notes Expiration Date to holders entitled to such payment. Holders of the 2015 Notes who do not deliver their consent prior to the 2015 Notes Expiration Date will not receive the 2015 Notes Consent Consideration, even though the 2015 Notes Proposed Amendment, if they become operative, will bind all holders of the 2015 Notes and any subsequent holders.
