Material Changes and Transactions

The company executed a significant refinancing transaction. On May 19, 2016, the company entered into a purchase agreement to issue new long-term debt. On May 24, 2016, the offering closed, and the company simultaneously initiated the redemption of its existing 2020 notes.
