The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on 15 June and 15 December of each year, commencing on 15 June 2016. The Notes will mature on 15 June 2023. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Notes will rank equally with all of the Issuer’s existing and future unsecured senior debt and senior to all its existing and future subordinated debt. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness, if any, of the Issuer to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, if any. The Notes are not guaranteed by the Issuer’s subsidiaries and will therefore also be structurally junior to all debt of the Issuer’s subsidiaries. The Issuer will, on or about 12 April 2016, redeem the 2016 Notes with the proceeds of the Notes offered hereby. The guarantees of the 2022 Notes, of the Senior Credit Agreement and of certain other indebtedness will be released upon redemption of the 2016 Notes. At that time, none of our outstanding debt will be guaranteed by our subsidiaries and all of the Issuer’s indebtedness will be pari passu and rank equally in right of payment. At any time prior to 15 June 2019, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the relevant “make-whole” premium. The Issuer may also redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after 15 June 2019, at redemption prices that vary depending on the year of redemption, as set forth in this offering circular (the “Offering Circular”). In addition, prior to 15 June 2019, the Issuer may, at its option and on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes with the net proceeds from one or more specified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In the event of certain developments affecting taxation, the Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, holders of the Notes may cause the Issuer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if the Issuer undergoes specific kinds of changes of control.
