The Notes were redeemed on July 30, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), at a price equal to $13,314,240.50, consisting of a redemption premium of 102.6628481% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest from February 15, 2021 to, but not including, the Redemption Date of $12,604,166.67.
