Disclosure here states that the bidder "will pay for all validly tendered and not withdrawn Shares promptly after the later of the date of expiration of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Offer..." (emphasis added). In the section entitled, "Conditions of the Offer," the disclosure indicates the bidder will not be obligated to purchase tendered Shares "if, before the Expiration Time, the following conditions shall not have been satisfied." Please revise so that the language about the timing of satisfaction or waiver of all Offer conditions vis-à-vis the expiration of the initial offer period is consistent throughout the offer to purchase.

Here and in future soliciting or tender offer materials that include the same reference, define what is meant by "long-term" in this context.
