The Bloomberg Reference Page is provided for convenience only. To the extent any Bloomberg Reference Page changes prior to the Price Determination Time (as defined below), the Joint Dealer Managers referred to below will quote the Treasury Reference Security from the updated Bloomberg Reference Page.

(2)

Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered before the Expiration Time (as defined below), not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase. In addition to the applicable consideration, all holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from, and including, the last interest payment date up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date (as defined below).

(3)

The consideration offered per $1,000 principal amount of 4.125% Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the offer therefor will be determined by the Joint Dealer Managers referred to below. Such Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of 4.125% Notes will equal the lesser of (x) the amount determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below) by reference to the fixed spread specified above for the 4.125% Notes plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the Treasury Reference Security specified above for the 4.125% Notes as quoted on the Bloomberg Reference Page specified above for the 4.125% Notes at 2:00 p.m., New York City time (such time, the “Price Determination Time”) on August 16, 2024, and (y) $1,000. The Consideration for the 4.125% Notes shall in no case be greater than 100% of the principal amount of 4.125% Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase.

The tender offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 16, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”). Holders who have validly tendered their Notes may withdraw such Notes at any time at or prior to the Expiration Time. The Guaranteed Delivery Date is August 20, 2024. CDW expects to pay the applicable consideration for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Time on August 22, 2024, the second business day following the Guaranteed Delivery Date (the “Settlement Date”). The tender offers are conditioned upon satisfaction of certain conditions, but are not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered.

The complete terms and conditions of the tender offers are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 12, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, along with any amendments and supplements thereto, which holders are urged to read carefully before making any decision with respect to the tender offers.
