Additional Information

Pro Forma Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The following disclosure is hereby added as the last paragraph of “Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges” on page S-14:

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, giving effect to this offering, would have been 14.18. Due to our loss from operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. To achieve a pro forma ratio coverage of 1:1, we would have needed additional earnings of approximately $2.3 billion.

Use of Proceeds

The following disclosure under “Use of Proceeds” on page S-15 and each other location where it appears in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement is amended to read as follows:

We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $1.777 billion, after deducting estimated fees and expenses (including underwriting discounts).

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility, to fund the purchase of the 5.5% notes in the Tender Offer and the redemption of any 5.5% notes that remain outstanding after the completion or termination of the Tender Offer.
