Key Financial Metrics

- Action: The company elected to partially redeem these debentures.
Material Changes
The material change reported is the partial redemption of the 9.125% Series 1 Senior Unsecured Debentures due 2017. This action reduces the company's outstanding debt principal and future interest obligations associated with this specific series. No comparative financial data or prior period metrics are included in this specific filing to quantify the change in total debt load.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
