The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Notes (i) to prepay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Company’s existing senior secured term loan facility, (ii) to pay related transaction fees and expenses and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, to persons outside of the United States, in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities and foreign securities laws.
