On February8, 2018, the Company agreed to sell $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028, or the Notes, in an underwritten public offering. The Notes are expected to be issued on or about February12, 2018.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will have certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on the Company’s properties, in excess of calculated amounts, and require the Company to maintain various financial ratios.

The Company expects to use the estimated $487.6 million of net proceeds after payment of the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses to reduce amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Pending such application, the Company may invest the net proceeds in short term investments, some or all of which may not be investment grade rated.
