Material Changes and Agreements

On October 16, 2014, the Company executed Supplemental Indentures following the receipt of requisite consents from note holders. The primary material change is the adoption of amendments that eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the original indentures governing the notes. This action was taken in conjunction with the tender offers to purchase the notes for cash.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

The filing confirms the expiration of the tender offers and consent solicitations on October 16, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. New York City time. Management commentary is limited to the announcement of the successful receipt of consents and the acceptance of tendered notes. The filing does not provide specific forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or contingencies beyond the standard legal qualifications regarding the Supplemental Indentures.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

  • Verify the total aggregate principal amount of each note series outstanding to determine the percentage of debt successfully refinanced or retired via the tender offer.
  • Review the attached Supplemental Indentures (Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2) to understand the specific covenants removed and the remaining terms of the debt.
  • Confirm the cash outflow impact of the $50.2 million payment made on October 17, 2014, against the company's liquidity position in subsequent filings.
  • Assess the impact of the eliminated restrictive covenants on the company's future financial flexibility and borrowing capacity.
