Material Changes
The primary material change is the restructuring of the Company's debt profile. The Company is replacing its existing 4.50% Senior Notes due 2020 and its revolving credit facility with a new $425 million senior note issuance extending maturity to 2027. This action is conditioned upon the successful consummation of the new debt financing.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to satisfy and discharge the indenture related to the existing notes upon the redemption date, releasing the Company from obligations under that specific indenture. The redemption is conditional; it requires the new debt financing to yield net proceeds at least equal to the redemption price of the existing notes. No specific forward-looking guidance regarding revenue or earnings was provided in this filing.
