On January 8, 2025, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), containing the final terms of the Notes pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Act. The Notes were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and were issued pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement. The Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated July 12, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 3, dated January 10, 2025 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.
The 2028 Notes will mature on April 15, 2028, the 2030 Notes will mature on April 15, 2030 and the 2032 Notes will mature on April 15, 2032. The Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations. The Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries and will therefore be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Notes for general corporate purposes and for repayment of debt.
