Tender Offers Amendment and Increased Offering Size
The Issuer announced on July 24, 2012 that it has amended the previously announced tender offers for its 5-1/4% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), 5-7/8% Senior Notes due 2015 and 6-1/4% Senior Notes due 2015 to extend the Early Tender Premium on the 2014 Notes to the Expiration Date and increase the Maximum 2015 Amount (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) to up to $240.0 million aggregate principal amount, less the amount of 2014 Notes accepted for purchase. The Issuer intends to use all or a portion of the net proceeds from the Note offering to purchase such increased amount of notes in the tender offers, if accepted, subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offers described in the Offer to Purchase dated July 11, 2012 and related Letter of Transmittal, as amended or supplemented. Any remaining net proceeds to the Issuer may be used for general corporate purposes as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under “Use of Proceeds.”
The Issuer has also increased the aggregate amount of Notes offered as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement to $350.0 million from $250.0 million, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Issuer (after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated fees and expenses) of $344.5 million.
