On May 23, 2017, the Company announced that certain of its subsidiaries intend to offer $825.0 million (the “Offering”) aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).

The Term Loan and the Notes will be issued to finance, in part, the Company’s pending acquisition of KCG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KCG) (the “Acquisition”) and certain previously disclosed related refinancing transactions.
