(the “Issuer”), intended to offer, subject to market and other customary conditions, $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2030 in a private offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Subsequently, on August 15, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Issuer had priced $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at par. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on August 29, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Notes and the related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other state or jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws. This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
