Material Changes
On March 28, 2012, the Company fully redeemed all outstanding 6.375% Senior Notes due 2015. This action resulted in:
- The satisfaction and discharge of obligations under the Indenture dated February 10, 2005.
- The release of collateral previously securing the Notes.
- The removal of covenants that limited sale and leaseback transactions, creation of liens on principal properties, and consolidation or merger activities.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary: The Company utilized existing cash reserves to irrevocably deposit funds with the Trustee to complete the redemption. Certain customary provisions regarding Trustee compensation and indemnification will survive the termination of the Indenture.
Future Relationships: U.S. Bank National Association has provided corporate trust, warrant agent, and lending services in the past and may do so again in the future.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not disclose new risks or contingencies; it primarily addresses the removal of restrictive covenants associated with the retired debt.
