The net proceeds from the notes offering, together with approximately $750 million of term loan borrowings expected to be available under the Issuers’ proposed new senior secured credit facility and available cash, will be used to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Issuers’ 6.375% Senior Notes (EUR) (“Euro Notes”) and 6.750% Senior Notes (USD) (“Senior Notes”), each due 2022, to refinance the Issuers’ existing senior secured credit facility and to pay related fees, expenses and premiums related to the refinancing.

In connection with the proposed debt refinancing transaction referred to above, the Note Issuers have delivered to the trustee under the indenture governing their outstanding Dollar Notes and Euro Notes, conditional redemption notices providing for the redemption of all the outstanding senior notes. The redemption of the senior notes is conditioned upon the successful completion of the contemplated senior notes offering and the receipt of at least $750 million in borrowings under a new senior secured credit facility. In accordance with Section5.7(a)of the indenture, the redemption notices provide for the redemption of $300 million of the outstanding principal amount on the Dollar Notes at a redemption price approximately equal to 106.6% of the outstanding principal amount and for the redemption of €375 million of the outstanding principal amount on the Euro Notes at a redemption price approximately equal to 107.5% of the outstanding principal amount, (representing the Applicable Premium (as defined in the indenture) assuming a redemption date of September7, 2017) plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
