Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 24, 2012, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”) in order to be eligible to receive the Total Tender Offer Consideration.

It is anticipated that the settlement date for Notes validly tendered on or before the Early Tender Deadline will be October 1, 2012, if DJOFL elects to accept such Notes for purchase prior to the expiration of the tender offer. It also is anticipated that the settlement date for Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline and on or before the Expiration Date (as well as for Notes validly tendered on or before the Early Tender Deadline if DJOFL does not elect to accept such Notes for purchase prior to the expiration of the tender offer) will be promptly following the Expiration Date.

The tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 9, 2012, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, validly tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 24, 2012, unless extended. The consummation of the tender offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered but is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
