The Offering is expected to close on December 20, 2021, subject to customary conditions. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under the Issuer’s senior secured credit facilities.

The redemption will be conditioned upon, among other requirements, the consummation of the Offering, which shall have resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Issuer of at least $460.0 million.
The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and outside the United States only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
