Under the terms of the Tender Offer, holders who validly tender their 2023 Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on November 9, 2022 (the "Early Tender Time") and do not withdraw their 2023 Notes prior to the Withdrawal Deadline will be eligible to receive the total consideration of $998.50 per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes tendered and accepted for purchase (the "Total Consideration"), which includes the early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes tendered and accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Payment"). Holders who validly tender their 2023 Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will be entitled to receive the tender offer consideration equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment (the "Tender Offer Consideration"). In addition to the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, holders of 2023 Notes that are accepted in the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date, and up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

CMC's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, 2023 Notes validly tendered is subject to certain conditions. CMC may waive any of the conditions if they are not satisfied.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, CMC reserves the right, following the Early Tender Time, to accept for purchase prior to the Expiration Time all 2023 Notes, subject to the Tender Cap, validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn prior to the Withdrawal Deadline (an "Early Settlement Election"). CMC will announce whether it intends to exercise the Early Settlement Election following the Early Tender Time. If CMC exercises the Early Settlement Election, CMC currently expects the settlement date for 2023 Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time to be promptly after the exercise of the Early Settlement Election. The settlement date for 2023 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time, and accepted by CMC for purchase in the Tender Offer will occur promptly after the Expiration Time.

If the purchase of all validly tendered 2023 Notes on the applicable settlement date would cause CMC to purchase a principal amount greater than the Tender Cap of the 2023 Notes, then the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed and CMC, if it accepts 2023 Notes for purchase in the Tender Offer, will accept for purchase tendered 2023 Notes on a prorated basis as described in the offer to purchase dated October 27, 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase"). If the Tender Cap is reached in respect of tenders of 2023 Notes made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, no 2023 Notes that are tendered after the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase unless the Tender Cap is increased by CMC, in its sole discretion.

CMC reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Tender Cap at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law.

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, which more fully sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer. Requests for documents relating to the Tender Offer may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Depositary and Information Agent, at (855) 654-2014 (toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect).

Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be directed to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (800) 558-3745 (toll-free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect).

None of CMC, its board of directors, its officers, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary, the Information Agent or the trustee of the 2023 Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, makes any recommendation that holders tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of their 2023 Notes, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender their 2023 Notes and, if so, the principal amount of 2023 Notes to tender. The Tender Offer is made only by the Offer to Purchase. This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any 2023 Notes in the Tender Offer or an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The Tender Offer is not being made to holders of 2023 Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
