Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 12, 2018, the Company issued a press release relating to the closing of the Acquisition. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 18, 2018, the Company issued a press release relating to the expected impacts on the Company from the Tax Reform Legislation (as defined below). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished to this Item 7.01 (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As described above, the Company is required to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Resale Shelf”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company is providing the following disclosure so that it may be incorporated by reference into the Resale Shelf and the Company’s other filings under the Securities Act.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Legislation”) which resulted in significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws, including certain key federal income tax provisions applicable to multinational companies such as the Company.

Given the tax law changes, the Company expects to record incremental non-cash income tax expense related to the U.S. transition tax on its unremitted foreign earnings and to provide reserves against its foreign tax credits which were recorded as assets prior to U.S. tax reform. Additionally, the Company is required to revalue its other U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the lower U.S.corporate income tax rate which has been reduced from 35% to 21%. The Company has estimated that this one-time, non-cash charge associated with U.S. income tax reform will range between $27 million to $30 million of incremental income tax expense which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.

On a longer term basis, certain aspects of the Tax Reform Legislation are expected to have a positive impact on the Company’s future U.S. income tax expense, including the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate.

The ultimate impact of the Tax Reform Legislation may differ from the Company’s estimates, possibly materially, due to changes in the interpretations and assumptions made by the Company as well as additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Reform Legislation. The Company will continue to assess the expected impacts of the new tax law and it will include its estimated impacts and additional disclosures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
