The new Term Loan E has the same security and guarantee package as the outstanding Term Loans B, C and D and borrowings under the new Term Loan E bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, adjusted LIBOR plus 7.50% or a base rate plus 6.50%.

The Company also announced the early settlement on December 16, 2013 (the “Initial Settlement Date”) of its previously announced private offer to holders of the Company’s 10.75% Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 (the “Outstanding Cash Pay Notes”) and 11.00%/11.75% Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 (the “Outstanding Toggle Notes” and collectively with the Outstanding Cash Pay Notes, the “Outstanding Notes”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all Outstanding Notes for newly issued Senior Notes due 2021 of the Company (the “New Notes”). On the Initial Settlement Date, the Company (x) issued $388,621,200 of New Notes and paid approximately $10.9 million of cash in exchange for $353,292,000 aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Cash Pay Notes and (y) issued $233,274,429 of New Notes and paid approximately $6.7 million of cash in exchange for $212,067,672 aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Toggle Notes. Participating holders were also eligible to receive, with respect to their Outstanding Notes accepted for exchange, accrued and unpaid interest, in cash, from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the Initial Settlement Date. However, because interest on the New Notes accrues from August 1, 2013, the last interest payment date of the Company’s existing senior notes due 2021 (the “Existing 2021 Notes”), the cash portion (but not the PIK portion) of the interest accrued on the New Notes from such last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Initial Settlement Date was deducted from the interest payable by the Company on the Outstanding Notes.  The New Notes issued on the Initial Settlement Date are fungible with the Existing 2021 Notes for all purposes, including for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

Immediately following the Initial Settlement Date, approximately $94.8 million aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Cash Pay Notes and approximately $127.9 million aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Toggle Notes remained outstanding. 

The Exchange Offer, which is only available to holders of Outstanding Notes that have certified their status as (i) both a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and an institutional “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or (ii) not a “U.S. person” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act (each, an “Eligible Holder”), is being made pursuant to an Offering Circular dated November 25, 2013 (the “Offering Circular”), and is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Eligible Holders who have not already tendered their Outstanding Notes may continue to do so at any time prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 23, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended by the Company.  Eligible Holders who tender their Outstanding Notes after the early tender date will receive $1,050 principal amount of New Notes and $40 of cash in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange.  Settlement for such New Notes, if any, will be on or about December 24, 2013.  Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2013.
