ITEM 8.01.                                    OTHER EVENTS

 

On October 24, 2005, NBTY, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its redemption of all of its $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 85/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the “Old Notes”) that remained outstanding on October 24, 2005. The Company refinanced the Old Notes with the proceeds from an offering of $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 71/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015. NBTY announced the call for redemption for all of such Old Notes on September 23, 2005 in accordance with the terms of the Indenture dated September 23, 1997 by and between the Company and The Bank of New York (successor to IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company) (the “Indenture”).  The redemption price was equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Old Notes validly tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. As a result of this redemption, all of the issued and outstanding Old Notes have been redeemed, and the Company’s obligations under the Indenture terminated as of October 24, 2005.
