(the “Company”) announced that it priced an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “notes”) at a price of 100% of the par value of the notes. The offering was upsized from the previously announced $300 million aggregate principal amount. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to redeem in full its outstanding 6.375% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 notes”) and to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the 2020 notes, to repay a portion of the outstanding amount under the term loan portion of its credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The sale of the notes is expected to close on August 21, 2018. A press release issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regarding the pricing of the offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
