The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the purchase price and tender premium for up to all $178.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders and accepted by the Company in connection with the cash tender offer that it commenced on May 19, 2017 (the “Concurrent Tender Offer”), to pay the redemption price to redeem any of the 2021 Notes that are not so tendered in the Concurrent Tender Offer and to pay the fees and expenses in connection with the Offering, the Concurrent Tender Offer and any redemption of the 2021 Notes. To the extent that the Company has excess proceeds from the Offering, the Company intends to use such excess amounts for general corporate purposes.
The Notes will only be offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. Upon the closing of the offering of the Notes, the Company, the guarantors of the Notes and the initial purchaser will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company and the guarantors will agree to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for a new issue of Notes of the same series registered under the Securities Act.
