Additional 5.75% Senior Notes Due 2027

On August10, 2017, the Company issued 5.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) at a price of 105.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest from February14, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million to certain qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes were issued to an Indenture dated as of February14, 2017, among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”), and form a single series of debt securities with the previously issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Existing Notes”). The Existing Notes and the Notes are herein referred to as the “Notes” unless the context otherwise indicates.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75%per year. Interest payments are due semi-annually each March1 and September1, with the first interest payment due on September1, 2017. The maturity date of the Notes is March1, 2027.

The Notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries or receivables finance subsidiaries). Accordingly, they are:

Prior to March1, 2022, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes at a redemption price equal to 105.750% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings of the Company so long as at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the redemption (unless all such Notes are otherwise repurchased or redeemed) and the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

At any time prior to March1, 2022, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest, plus a premium provided for in the Indenture, which would be the greater of (1)1.0% of the principal amount of each Note being redeemed or (2)the excess of (i)the present value at the redemption date of (x)the redemption price of the Note being redeemed at March1, 2022 plus (y)all required interest payments due on each such Note through March1, 2022 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (ii)the principal amount of such Note.

On or after March1, 2022, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March1 of the years indicated below:

If the Company experiences a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The Indenture limits the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: borrow money or guarantee debt; create liens; pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock; make specified types of investments and acquisitions; enter into or permit to exist contractual limits on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company; enter into new lines of business; enter into transactions with affiliates; and sell assets or merge with other companies. Certain of these covenants are subject to suspension when and if the Notes are rated at least “BBB-” by Standard& Poor’s or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

The Indenture contains customary events of default that include, among other things (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods): (i)non-payment of principal or interest; (ii)breach of certain covenants contained in the Indenture or the Notes; (iii)defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness or the acceleration of certain other indebtedness prior to maturity; (iv)the failure to pay certain final judgments; (v)the failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable and (vi)certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs (subject to certain exceptions), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of the Indenture, and the foregoing description of the terms of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
