If consummated, the Company expects the above transactions to be accretive, providing interest expense savings and extending the Company’s maturity profile.

The New Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S.
