The Company today also announced that it has amended the terms
of the Offer to provide that it will pay the Full Tender Offer
Consideration with respect to Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer
(including Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time other than
the 7.500% Notes, which the Company currently intends, but is not
obligated, to redeem in full).
Tendered Notes will be accepted in the order of the acceptance
priority level for such series (in numerical priority order) as set
forth in the table above, with 1 being the highest acceptance
priority level, and based on whether the Notes are tendered at or
before the Early Tender Time or after the Early Tender Time, as
described in the Offer to Purchase. Notwithstanding the acceptance
priority level, if any Notes are purchased in the Offer, Notes
tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for
purchase in priority to Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time
and at or prior to the Expiration Time. Pursuant to the terms of
the Offer, the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase
is subject to the Tender Cap. Under certain circumstances, the
Company will accept tendered Notes of one or more of the series on
a pro rata basis as further described in the Offer to Purchase.
The Company will pay the Full Tender Offer Consideration with
respect to Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer (including Notes
tendered after the Early Tender Time other than the 7.500% Notes,
which the Company currently intends, but is not obligated, to
redeem in full). In addition, holders that validly tender Notes
that are accepted for purchase by the Company will receive accrued
and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment
date for their tendered Notes to, but not including, the settlement
date for such Notes, in each case rounded to the nearest cent.
The Withdrawal Deadline for the Offer was 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on February 21, 2018, and has not been extended for any
series of Notes. The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City
time, on March 7, 2018, unless extended or earlier terminated by
the Company, with respect to any or all series of Notes.
The conditions to the Offer specified in the Offer to Purchase,
including the financing condition, have been satisfied.
Capitalized terms used in this press release and not defined
herein have the meanings given to them in the Offer to
Purchase.
The Company currently intends to redeem all of the 7.500%
Notes that remain outstanding following the consummation of the
Offer. Any such redemption would be made in accordance with the
terms of the indenture governing the 7.500% Notes, which provides
for a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their
principal amount and (ii) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not
including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of
the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a
semiannual basis at the Treasury Rate (as such term is defined in
the 7.500% Notes) plus 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of redemption. The redemption price has
not yet been determined and it is possible that the redemption
price will be less or more than the applicable consideration for
the 7.500% Notes in the Offer. However, the Company is not
obligated to undertake any such redemption, and there can be no
assurance that the Company will redeem any 7.500% Notes that remain
outstanding after consummation of the Offer or of the timing of, or
amount of any 7.500% Notes subject to, any such redemption.
