The applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase, calculated as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 6, 2017.

(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Notes tendered and validly accepted.

(2) Includes the Early Tender Premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Notes (the “Early Tender Premium”).

Settlement for Outstanding Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase, will be July 7, 2017 (the “Early Settlement Date”), two business days following the Early Tender Time.

The settlement date for Outstanding Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below) and that are accepted for purchase is expected to be July 21, 2017, two business days following the Expiration Time (the “Final Settlement Date” and, together with the Early Settlement Date, the “Settlement Dates” and each, a “Settlement Date”). Because the Tender Offer with respect to the 2036 Notes was fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, holders who validly tender any 2036 Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their 2036 Notes accepted for payment.

Owens Corning will pay holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their 2019 Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below), the late tender offer consideration of $1,104.45 for each $1,000 principal amount of its 2019 Notes accepted for purchase, which does not include the Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date.

The Tender Offers will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on July 19, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated with respect to either or both series of Outstanding Notes (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”).
