The Company anticipates that the settlement date of the Offers will be May 8, 2009. Following the settlement date, the Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other applicable securities laws and, unless so registered, the New Notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the New Notes have been offered and will be issued only (i) in the United States, to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in
2
Rule 144A under the Securities Act), and (ii) outside the United States to persons who are not U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) and who are non-U.S. qualified offerees.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase any notes nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the New Notes.
This press release includes statements that are considered “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views about its plans, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to it and on assumptions that the Company’s management has made. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties, and you should not place undue reliance on those statements.
