Change in Offering Size and Use of Proceeds

 

We are amending our previously announced tender offer in respect of our outstanding 5.400% Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) in order to increase the maximum aggregate purchase price in that offer from $500 million to $785 million. Additionally, we are launching a tender offer in respect of our outstanding 5.870% Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) with an aggregate purchase price of up to $210 million. As a result, the proposed use of proceeds for this offer has been updated to provide that the net proceeds will be used to fund the purchase price of 2021 Notes with an aggregate purchase price of up to $785 million and 2022 Notes with an aggregate purchase price of up to $210 million and the remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment and/or repurchase of certain of our outstanding indebtedness as may be determined by our management. Corresponding changes will be made where applicable throughout the preliminary prospectus supplement. Our tender offer in respect of the 2021 Notes includes a solicitation of consents to amend the related indenture, while our tender offer in respect of the 2022 Notes does not include any consent solicitation. The offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the tender offers. The tender offers are being made pursuant to the relevant Offer to Purchase.
