Subsequent Event

On April 16, 2018, we redeemed all outstanding 5% Notes ($280.0 million aggregate principal amount) at a redemption price of 100 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. We funded this redemption with revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand. As a result of the redemption of the 5% Notes, we expect to record a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2018 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
