The Total Offer Consideration for the Notes validly tendered prior to or at the applicable Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase is calculated using the Fixed Spread. 

(2)

Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase. 

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 9, 2024, as amended by the Company’s press release dated May 9, 2024 (as amended and supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Tender Offer comprises the Company’s offer to purchase for cash up to $2.7 billion combined aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date and excludes premiums, fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer) (the “Aggregate Maximum Amount”). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

The “Total Early Offer Consideration” listed in the table above per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes was determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2024. Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2024 (the “Early Tender Time”) are eligible to receive the Total Early Offer Consideration for Notes accepted for purchase. As previously announced, the Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for the Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase on May 24, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”). Because the amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Amount, any such tendered Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, subject to a proration factor of approximately 0.76954540. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, any Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder’s account. Since the Tender Offer for the Notes is fully subscribed at the Early Tender Time, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time on a subsequent settlement date.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as the Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be directed to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Liability Management Group at (800) 624-1808 (toll free) or (212) 761-1057 (collect). Global Bondholder Services Corporation is the information agent and tender agent for the Tender Offer and can be contacts at (toll-free) (855) 654-2015, (for banks and brokers) (212) 430-3774 or by email to contact@gbsc-usa.com. Questions regarding the tendering of Notes may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by facsimile to (for Eligible Institutions only) (212) 430-3775/3779.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The Tender Offer is made only by the Offer to Purchase and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase. Neither Charter, the Company or its affiliates, their respective boards of directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent and Tender Agent or the trustees with respect to any Notes is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer, and no one has been authorized to make any such recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Omdia: Small medium OLED shipment to hit 1 billion units for the first time in 2025

Published

on

By

LONDON, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — New data from Omdia has revealed that OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology, which began with small displays under 10 inches two decades ago, is set to reach new heights in 2025. With advancements in technology, capacity and cost, OLED is poised for significant growth. Over the years, OLED has outperformed LCD displays in key areas such as color saturation, slimness, weight, flexibility and contrast. These advantages have accelerated the transition from LCD to OLED, particularly as production scales expand, especially in China.

According to Omdia’s latest OLED Display Market Tracker, small to medium OLED shipments are expected to surpass one billion units for the first time. The milestone includes displays ranging from 1-inch to 8-inch, covering a wide array of applications such as game consoles, AR/VR/MR headsets, near eyeglasses and head-mount displays, automotive displays, smartphones, sub displays, smartwatches and industrial displays.

OLED technology has seen significant growth in the smartphone market, driven by China OLED makers such as BOE, ChinaStar, EverDisplay, Visionox and Tianma as along with the vast technological advancements from Korean giants Samsung Display and LG Display. Additionally, OLED displays are expanding into the new applications including AR/VR and automotive displays.

David Hsieh, Senior Research Director, Displays in Omdia highlights, “Despite its higher cost and more complex manufacturing, OLED has proven ideal for small to medium displays due to its slim design, lightweight, excellent picture quality, efficient power consumption and flexibility. Beyond replacing TFT LCDs in these applications, OLED enables  innovative form factors like ultra-lightweight and foldable designs. Shipments of small to medium OLED display are projected to peak 1 billion units in 2025.”

Conversely, display manufacturers are refining OLED production processes while scaling up capacity scale with innovations such as Gen8.6 fabs, LTPO+ backplane, COE, fingerprint-on-display technology, under display cameras, hybrid OLEDs, Tandem RGB OLEDs, mask-less OLED photolithographic deposition and ink jet printing. These new developments aim to elevate OLED’s value proposition beyond mere volume growth.

Hsieh added, “However, new players are beginning to challenge the dominance of OLED. Samsung Display and LG Display have introduced stretchable Micro LED displays, while display manufacturers like AUO and Tianma are initiating mass production of small to medium Micro LED displays, supported by gradual improvements in cost and product readiness. After reaching its peak, small to medium OLED displays are expected to enjoy a golden era lasting for decades, though they may eventually be overshadowed by the emergence of Micro LED Display.”
