The Issuers intend to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with proceeds of a new unsecured term loan that is contemplated to be incurred pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s existing credit agreement (the “Term Loan”), to (i) purchase all of the Issuers’ 7.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Issuers’ concurrent cash tender offer for any and all 2025 Notes (the “Tender Offer”) and to redeem any 2025 Notes not tendered in the Tender Offer and (ii) pay related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering, the Tender Offer and the redemption, with any remaining net proceeds used for general corporate purposes. If the Tender Offer is not consummated, the Issuers intend to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with Term Loan proceeds, to (i) redeem in full the 2025 Notes and (ii) pay related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering and the redemption, with any remaining net proceeds used for general corporate purposes.
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Notes and the guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes and the guarantees will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act, and it is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
