1 The Tender Cap is the maximum aggregate purchase
price for the applicable Security. For non-U.S. Dollar denominated
Securities, the Tender Cap is the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the
maximum aggregate purchase price in the applicable currency.

 

2 The Total Consideration payable for each $1,000,
£1,000 or €1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered
at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase
by us includes the applicable Early Tender Premium. In addition,
holders whose Securities are accepted will also receive accrued
interest on such Securities.

 

The amounts of each series of Securities that are purchased will be
determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels specified
in the table above (the “Acceptance Priority Level”), with 1 being the
highest Acceptance Priority Level and 12 being the lowest Acceptance
Priority Level. In addition, the aggregate purchase price for applicable
series of Securities will not exceed the tender caps specified in the
table above (the “Tender Caps”).

The tender offer is being made upon and is subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 17, 2016,
and the related Letter of Transmittal. The tender offer will expire at
midnight, New York City time, at the end of November 14, 2016, unless
extended or terminated (the “Expiration Date”). Tenders of Securities
may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on October 28, 2016, but may not be withdrawn thereafter except
where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

The prices to be paid for each series of Securities accepted for
purchase will be determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, for the
Securities denominated in U.S. Dollars, and 3:00 p.m., London time, for
the Securities denominated in Sterling or Euro, on the business day
following the Early Tender Deadline (as it may be extended, the “Price
Determination Date”). The prices to be paid for the Securities
denominated in U.S. Dollars and Sterling will be calculated on the basis
of the yield to the applicable call or maturity date of the applicable
reference security listed in the table above, and the prices to be paid
for the Securities denominated in Euro will be calculated on the basis
of the rates payable on a reference swap plus the fixed spread
applicable to such Securities as set forth in the table above, in each
case on the Price Determination Date.

Holders of Securities that are validly tendered and not withdrawn at or
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 28, 2016 (unless
extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”) and accepted for purchase will
receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the
applicable early tender premium specified in the table above (the “Early
Tender Premium”). Holders of Securities who validly tender their
Securities following the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the
Expiration Date will only receive the applicable “Tender Offer
Consideration,” which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration
minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.

The purchase price for Securities denominated in U.S. Dollars, Sterling
and Euro will be paid in U.S. Dollars, Sterling and Euro, respectively.
The Maximum Tender Amount and Tender Caps (where applicable) will be
determined subject to the currency conversion methods described in the
Offer to Purchase.

Payments for Securities purchased will include accrued and unpaid
interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to
the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the
applicable settlement date for such Securities accepted for purchase.

If the tender offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender
Deadline, subject to the Maximum Tender Amount and the Tender Caps
(where applicable), Securities validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for
purchase in priority to other Securities tendered following the Early
Tender Deadline even if such Securities tendered following the Early
Tender Deadline have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Securities
tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

Securities of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such series validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn would cause the Tender Cap (where applicable) or
the Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. Furthermore, if the tender
offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who
validly tender Securities following the Early Tender Deadline will not
have any of their Securities accepted for purchase.

P&G’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities
validly tendered in the tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
