Pursuant to the Interim Order, the voting record date for the Meeting is November 8, 2018 (the "Record Date").

To be approved, the Plan of Arrangement requires the affirmative vote of at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by the Noteholders in person or by proxy at the Meeting. As previously announced, the Company has entered into a support agreement with holders of approximately 85% of the aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes. This includes a group of holders of approximately 45% of the Senior Notes and certain investment funds that are the Company's principal shareholders and holders of approximately 40% of the Senior Notes.

Court Approval and Implementation

If the Plan of Arrangement is approved by the requisite majority of the Noteholders at the Meeting, the Company will attend a hearing before the Court currently scheduled for December 18, 2018, or such other date as may be set by the Court, to seek Court approval of the Plan of Arrangement. If the approval of the requisite majority of the Noteholders at the Meeting and of the Court is obtained, any other required approvals are obtained and the other conditions to completion of the Recapitalization Transaction are satisfied or waived, it is expected that the Recapitalization Transaction will be completed prior to the year end 2018.

Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Jupiter's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, or if any of them do so, what benefits that Jupiter will derive therefrom. Jupiter disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
