The Offering is expected to close on November 18, 2021. The closing of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary and market conditions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 4.25% secured notes due March 2022 and to pay the related fees and expenses.

Accordingly, the Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers," as that term is defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, or outside the United States to non-"U.S. persons" in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
