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.

(2)

Per $1,000 principal amount.

(3)

The Total Consideration for Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time (as defined below) and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread (as set forth in the table above) and is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium (as defined in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below)).

*

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

The Offer was made on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated April 28, 2021, as amended by the press release dated May 12, 2021 (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.

The Total Consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes of each series validly tendered and accepted for purchase was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase, so as to result in a price as of the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) based on a yield to the Par Call Date or maturity date (in accordance with market practice) for the Notes of such series equal to the sum of the fixed spread listed above for such series plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the reference security (the “Reference Treasury”) listed above for such series, as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT1 page at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today.

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 11, 2021 (the “Early Tender Time”) are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for such 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. Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on May 11, 2021.

The Offerors have satisfied the financing condition to the Offer and, on May 13, 2021 (the “Early Settlement Date”), expect to pay for the Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase.

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.
