The terms and conditions of the procedure for registering entitlements to the Default Recovery Entitlement are described in the Information Memorandum dated 20 May 2019 (the "Information Memorandum"). Capitalised terms used herein but not defined in this notice shall have the meanings

given to them in the Information Memorandum. The Information Memorandum contains important information that should be read carefully.

The Initial Electronic Instruction Deadline will expire at 10:00 a.m. (London time) on 6 June 2019. Legacy Noteholders are encouraged to submit their Electronic Instructions by no later than such date to ensure, if such instructions are deemed eligible by the Company in its reasonable discretion, the due registration of such Legacy Noteholders as Default Recovery Entitlement Beneficiaries. THE COMPANY, THE RJ DEBTORS, THE INFORMATION AND TABULATION AGENTS AND THE TRUSTEES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE FOR ANY CUSTODY FEES, THIRD PARTY COSTS OR OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED BY LEGACY NOTEHOLDERS THAT FAIL TO SUBMIT VALID ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO THE INITIAL ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION DEADLINE.

Overview of the Default Recovery Entitlement

Section 4.3.6 of the RJ Plan sets out the basis for the Default Recovery Entitlement which provides Legacy Noteholders that submit Registration Instructions in accordance with the Default Recovery Registration Procedure described in the Information Memorandum with a right to payment on a future date or dates, following registration as a Default Recovery Entitlement Beneficiary on the Default Recovery Entitlement Register. Pursuant to the Information and Election Solicitation Statement, Legacy Noteholders that did not elect or were otherwise ineligible to receive any other entitlements set out in the RJ Plan and detailed in the Information and Election Solicitation Statement were automatically allocated to receive a proportion of the Default Recovery Entitlement, which shall be apportioned based on each eligible Legacy Noteholder's holdings of any Series of Legacy Notes. If, upon receipt of a Registration Instruction, the Company in its reasonable discretion determines such Legacy Noteholder to be eligible to receive its proportion of the Default Recovery Entitlement, it shall (or the Information and Tabulation Agent on its behalf shall) enter such Legacy Noteholder on the Default Recovery Entitlement Register as a Default Recovery Entitlement Beneficiary in order to receive the benefit of the Default Recovery Entitlement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3.6 of the RJ Plan.

Steps required from Legacy Noteholders

Legacy Noteholders that elect to register as Default Recovery Entitlement Beneficiaries must make a Default Recovery Website Submission on the Default Recovery Website and deliver their Electronic Instruction to the Information and Tabulation Agent, in accordance with the provisions set out in the Information Memorandum.

In order for Legacy Noteholders to validly elect to register as Default Recovery Entitlement Beneficiaries in accordance with the Default Recovery Registration Procedures detailed in the Information Memorandum, such Legacy Noteholders must include their Default Recovery Entitlement Code in their Electronic Instruction to be submitted through the relevant Clearing System.

The Default Recovery Entitlement Code will be displayed on the right-hand column of each Default Recovery Website Submission on the 'My Submissions' page of the Default Recovery Website. The Default Recovery Entitlement Code will consist of a prefix of 'DFKDR' following by a five-digit number. For the avoidance of doubt, the Default Recovery Entitlement Code is not a protocol number or a unique token number that may have been previously allocated to Legacy Noteholders. Direct Participants must then deliver Electronic Instructions to the Information and Tabulation Agent through the relevant Clearing System in accordance with the requirements of such Clearing System. An Electronic Instruction will not be considered valid if it does not include a valid Default Recovery Entitlement Code or if it is submitted following the Initial Electronic Instruction Deadline.

Legacy Noteholders should provide their Electronic Instructions through the relevant Clearing System in accordance with their applicable policies and with regard to any deadlines set by such Clearing

System or any broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee or intermediary through which a Legacy Noteholder delivers its Electronic Instruction.

Legacy Noteholders are advised that the Legacy Notes shall be cancelled on 14 June 2019. Legacy Noteholders that do not instruct by the Initial Electronic Instruction Deadline will have their accounts credited with a Technical ISIN (in the case of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg) or Escrow CUSIP (in the case of DTC) (as applicable), which shall be created for evidentiary purposes only and will not be transferable.

LEGACY NOTEHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SETTLE ANY OUTSTANDING TRANSFERS PRIOR TO THE DELIVERY OF ANY ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTIONS AND IN ANY CASE BY NO LATER THAN THE INITIAL ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION DEADLINE. THE COMPANY SHALL NOT RECOGNISE ANY SUCH TRANSFERS OR TRADES THAT ARE ENTERED INTO FOLLOWING THE INITIAL ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION DEADLINE FOR THE PURPOSES OF COMPILING THE DEFAULT RECOVERY ENTITLEMENT REGISTER.

ON THE INITIAL ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION DEADLINE, THE COMPANY SHALL ARRANGE FOR ALL SERIES OF LEGACY NOTES HELD THROUGH THE CLEARING SYSTEMS TO BE BLOCKED FROM TRADING WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. LEGACY NOTEHOLDERS ARE ADVISED THAT ANY PENDING OR OTHERWISE OUTSTANDING TRADES ON THE INITIAL ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION DEADLINE MAY BE SETTLED BY THE RELEVANT CLEARING SYSTEM BUT NO NEW TRANSFERS MAY BE ENTERED INTO FROM THIS DATE. FOLLOWING THE INITIAL ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION DEADLINE, LEGACY NOTES HELD THROUGH THE CLEARING SYSTEMS MAY NO LONGER BE TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE TRADED BY LEGACY NOTEHOLDERS.

Legacy Noteholders that do not submit their Electronic Instructions by the Initial Electronic Instruction Deadline may, following the Cancellation Date, submit Electronic Instructions with regard to the Monthly Electronic Instruction Deadline. Following the Expiry Date, Legacy Noteholders may only submit Manual Instructions to the Company directly.

Further Information

Holders of beneficial interests in PTIF's 6.25% Notes due 2016 (ISIN No. PTPTCYOM0008) are advised that the Default Recovery Registration Procedure detailed in the Information Memorandum is not applicable to such notes. The Company shall provide information on the procedure for registering as Default Recovery Entitlement Beneficiaries in respect of such series in due course.

The Default Recovery Registration Procedure is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Information Memorandum. The Company has the right to modify, extend or otherwise amend the Default Recovery Registration Procedure if any of such conditions are not satisfied and such conditions are not waived by the Company.

Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Information and Tabulation Agent, who may be contacted via email at [email protected] or at their offices located at: 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, New York 10005, United States, and 125 Wood Street, London EC2V 7AN, United Kingdom (and, effective 28 May 2019, instead at 65 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7NQ, United Kingdom).
