All Notes were originally issued by Waste Management, except for the 7.10% Notes due 2026, which were originally issued by WMX Technologies, Inc. and assumed by WMH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Management. WMH has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all the Notes issued by Waste Management and Waste Management has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 7.10% Notes due 2026.

*

Refers to the first date such Notes may be redeemed at par prior to maturity (such applicable date, the “Par Call Date”).

The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the offer to purchase, dated April 28, 2021, as amended by this press release (as the same may be further amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of May 25, 2021, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Offerors.

As of the Early Tender Time, according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender and information agent for the Offer, the aggregate principal amounts of the Notes set forth in the table above under “Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Time” have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer. Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 11, 2021.

As of the Early Tender Time, the aggregate principal amount of Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 10 validly tendered equals the Maximum Principal Amount. Accordingly, all of the validly tendered Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 10 will be accepted for purchase, and no Notes validly tendered with a lower Acceptance Priority Level (indicated by a higher numerical value) will be accepted. Because the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered exceeded the Maximum Principal Amount as of the Early Tender Time, the Offerors will not accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time.

The Total Consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes of each series validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase. Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for the Notes accepted for purchase. Such holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The Offerors expect to announce the pricing of the Offer later today.

Waste Management has retained Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to serve as the dealer managers for the Offer and Global Bondholder Services Corporation to serve as tender and information agent for the Offer. The full details of the Offer, including complete instructions on how to tender Notes, are included in the Offer to Purchase. Holders of Notes are strongly encouraged to carefully read the Offer to Purchase, including materials incorporated by reference therein, because they will contain important information. Requests for the Offer to Purchase and any related supplements may also be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by telephone at (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers) or (866) 470-3700 (toll free) or email at contact@gbsc-usa.com.
