Note 4. Debt

On January 11, 2012, the company expanded its senior secured credit facility by adding a $275.0 million term loan that matures on September 30, 2016 (Term Loan). Quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan are required to be made in amounts ranging from 1.25% to 3.75% of the original principal amount, with the unpaid principal balance of approximately $158.0 million due on the maturity date. The company used the net proceeds of the Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to fund the January 2012 purchase of $279.7 million of the company’s 7 3/8% Senior Notes, due 2012 pursuant to a tender offer. As a result of the tender, the company recorded expenses of $13.9 million in January 2012 related to the tender premium, unamortized debt issuance costs write-off, and tender expenses, which are reflected in other expenses in the consolidated statement of income for the six-months ended June 30, 2012.

On August 2, 2012, the company announced that it plans to sell approximately $750 million aggregate principal amount of debt securities in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, subject to market and other conditions. Pursuant to a concurrent debt tender offer and consent solicitation (Offer), the company intends to use the proceeds from this new debt financing, along with available cash, to purchase up to $210.0 million of the $420.3 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 73/8% Senior Notes due 2012 and for any and all of the $500.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 73/4% Senior Notes due 2016 (collectively, the “Notes”), and to pay fees and expenses associated with the tender offer and consent solicitation. The Offer is subject to a number of conditions including, without limitation, the completion of the new debt financing on terms reasonably satisfactory to the company and in an amount generating net proceeds sufficient to purchase the Notes tendered in the Offer, up to the tender cap.
