Offer to Exchange

$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020

that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933

for any and all outstanding unregistered 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020

We are offering to exchange an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 of registered 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020, or the new notes, for any and all of our outstanding unregistered 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020 that were issued in a private offering on November 27, 2012, or the old notes. We are offering to exchange the new notes for the old notes to satisfy our obligations contained in the registration rights agreement that we entered into in connection with the issuance of the old notes. We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer, and issuance of the new notes will not result in any increase in our outstanding debt.

The terms of the new notes will be identical in all material respects to the terms of the old notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the old notes will not apply to the new notes.

Our obligations under the new notes will be jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee any of our other indebtedness, all of which we refer to in this prospectus as the guarantors.

We do not intend to list the new notes on any securities exchange or seek approval for quotation through any automated trading system.

You may withdraw your tender of old notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. We will exchange all of the outstanding old notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of new notes.

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 2, 2013, unless extended by us.

Broker-dealers receiving new notes in exchange for old notes acquired for their own account through market-making or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus in any resale of the new notes.

See “Risk factors” beginning on page 14 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with the exchange offer.

The third-party sources mentioned above generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the included information. We have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. Statements as to our market position are based on market data currently available to us. Although we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the market and industry data presented herein or incorporated herein by reference, our estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk factors” in this prospectus and in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-looking statements

This prospectus includes and incorporates by reference statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. When we use the words or phrases “should result,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “are expected to,” “expectations,” “targeted,” “will continue,” “will approximate,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook” or similar expressions in this prospectus or in the information incorporated herein by reference, they indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.

We want to caution you that any forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause them to be incorrect. The material uncertainties and other factors known to us are discussed under the heading “Risk factors” in this prospectus and in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference. Although we have attempted to compile a comprehensive list of these important factors, we want to caution you that other factors may prove to be important in affecting our future operating results. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors, nor can we assess the impact each factor or combination of factors may have on our business.

We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

You are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward-looking statements because they speak only of our views as of the date the statements were made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Risk factors

Before participating in the exchange offer, you should carefully consider the various risks of an investment in the new notes, including those described below and those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, together with all of the other information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business, financial condition or results of operations. These risks also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Forward-looking statements.”

Risks relating to the notes

Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry or prevent us from meeting our obligations under the notes.

As of December 31, 2012, our total indebtedness was approximately $652.6 million as shown on the following chart:

Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences for you, including the following:

·                  it may limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, debt service requirements, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes;

·                  a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and will not be available for other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

·                  the debt service requirements of our other indebtedness could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including those related to the notes;

·                  certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, are at variable rates of interest, exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates;

·                  it may limit our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

·                  it may increase our cost of borrowing; and

·                  we may be vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business, or we may be unable to carry out capital spending that is important to our growth.

14

Table of Contents

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations, including the notes, depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the notes. See “Forward-looking statements” contained herein and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cash flows and liquidity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. We cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including our revolving credit facility, the indentures that govern our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 and our 7.00% Senior Notes due 2019, or the existing notes, or the indenture that governs the notes. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. Our revolving credit facility, the indenture that governs our 7.00% Senior Notes due 2019 and the indenture that governs the notes restrict our ability to dispose of our assets and to use the proceeds from any such disposition. We may not be able to consummate such dispositions or to obtain the realized proceeds of such dispositions, or such proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. See “Description of other indebtedness” and “Description of notes.”

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and, as a result:

·                  our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;

·                  the lenders under our revolving credit facility could terminate their commitments to lend us money and could foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings; and

·                  we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in you losing your investment in the notes.

Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations under the notes.

Despite current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of our revolving credit facility, the indentures that govern the existing notes and the indenture that governs the notes do not fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from doing so. As of December 31, 2012, letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility were approximately $8.5 million and net available borrowings under our revolving credit facility were approximately $191.5 million. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify. See “Description of other indebtedness” and “Description of notes.”

Table of Contents

Restrictive covenants in our revolving credit facility, the indentures that govern the existing notes and the indenture that governs the notes may adversely affect our operations.

Our revolving credit facility, the indentures that govern the existing notes and the indenture that governs the notes contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interests. The agreements governing our indebtedness include covenants restricting our, and certain of our subsidiaries’, ability to, among other things:

·                  incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;

·                  issue redeemable stock and preferred stock;

·                  pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

·                  prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment of the notes;

·                  make loans, investments and advances;

·                  incur liens;

·                  restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from our subsidiaries;

·                  sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries;

·                  enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

·                  enter into swap agreements;

·                  consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person; and

·                  enter into transactions with affiliates.

In addition, under our revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. From and after April 1, 2014, our revolving credit facility also requires us to maintain a certain liquidity level under certain circumstances. Our ability to meet these ratios and this level can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet them.

As a result of the above, we may be:

·                  limited in how we grow or restructure our business;

·                  unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns;

·                  unable to compete effectively or take advantage of new business opportunities; or

·                  unable to execute our business strategy.

In addition, a breach of any of the above covenants could result in a default under one or more of the agreements governing our indebtedness, including as a result of a cross default provision. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our revolving credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under our revolving credit facility could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We and the guarantors under our revolving credit facility have

16

Table of Contents

pledged substantially all of our and their personal property, excluding certain assets, as collateral for our obligations under our revolving credit facility. If the lenders under our revolving credit facility accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our revolving credit facility and our other indebtedness, including the notes, or borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us. See “Description of other indebtedness.”

Variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Certain of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under our revolving credit facility, are, and are expected to continue to be, at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease. Assuming our revolving credit facility is fully drawn, each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a $500,000 change in annual interest expense on our then existing revolving credit facility. In addition, we have entered into swap agreements with respect to the notes and our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014. A quarter point decrease in interest rates would result in a payment of $995,000 by us to the counterparties.

Your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively junior to the right of lenders who have a security interest in our or the guarantors’ assets, to the extent of the value of those assets.

Our obligations under the notes and the guarantors’ obligations under their guarantees of the notes are unsecured, but our obligations under our revolving credit facility and each guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee of our revolving credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and their personal property, excluding certain assets. If we are declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if we default under our revolving credit facility, the lenders under our revolving credit facility could declare all of the funds borrowed thereunder, together with accrued interest, immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay such indebtedness, the lenders could foreclose on the pledged assets to the exclusion of holders of the notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the notes at such time. In any such event, because the notes are not secured by any of our or the guarantors’ assets, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to satisfy your claims in full. See “Description of other indebtedness.”

As of December 31, 2012, we had no senior secured indebtedness under our revolving credit facility and approximately $191.5 million of availability under our revolving credit facility, which, if borrowed, would constitute senior secured indebtedness. The indenture governing the notes permits us, subject to some limitations, to incur additional secured debt without equally and ratably securing the notes.

Claims of holders of the notes are structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of our existing and future subsidiaries that are not, or do not become, guarantors of the notes.

Claims of holders of the notes are structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes, including trade creditors. All obligations of these subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such subsidiaries will be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to us or our creditors, including the holders of the notes. The indenture that governs the notes permits these subsidiaries, subject to some limitations, to incur additional indebtedness and does not contain any limitation on the amount of other liabilities, such as trade payables, that may be incurred by these subsidiaries.

Our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for $271.2 million, or 17.9%, of our revenues and $18.8 million, or 11.1%, of our net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $142.9 million, or 10.1%, of our total assets and $58.9 million, or 6.0%, of our total liabilities as of December 31, 2012. Amounts are presented after giving effect to intercompany eliminations.

17

Table of Contents

In addition, a subsidiary that provides a guarantee of the notes will be automatically released from its guarantee upon the occurrence of certain events, including the following:

·                  the designation of that subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary;

·                  the release or discharge of any guarantee or indebtedness that resulted in the creation of the guarantee of the notes by that subsidiary; or

·                  the sale or other disposition, including the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, of that subsidiary.

If the guarantee of any subsidiary is released, no holder of notes will have a claim as a creditor against that subsidiary, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables and preferred stock, if any, whether secured or unsecured, of that subsidiary will be effectively senior to the claim of any holder of the notes. See “Description of notes—Note guarantees.”

We are a holding company and may not have access to sufficient cash to make payments on the notes.

We are a holding company with no direct operations. Our principal assets are the equity interests we hold in our operating subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent upon dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet our outstanding debt service and other obligations. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and, unless they are guarantors of the notes, will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the notes or to make any funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payment. In addition, our subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash from operations to enable us to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, and any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances to us by our subsidiaries could be subject to restrictions on dividends or repatriation of earnings under applicable local law and monetary transfer restrictions in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. Although the indenture that governs our 7.00% Senior Notes due 2019 and the indenture that governs the notes limit the ability of our subsidiaries to incur consensual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the notes.

If we default on our obligations to pay our indebtedness we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under our revolving credit facility that is not waived by the required lenders or a default under any of the indentures that govern the existing notes, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could make us unable to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness (including covenants in our revolving credit facility and our indentures), we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness, including our revolving credit facility and our indentures. In the event of such default:

·                  the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest;

·                  the lenders under our revolving credit facility could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder and cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets; and

·                  we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our revolving credit facility to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our revolving credit facility

18

Table of Contents

and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under our revolving credit facility, the lenders could exercise their rights as described above and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. See “Description of other indebtedness” and “Description of notes.”

We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The source of funds for any such repurchase of the notes will be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries’ operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control because we may not have sufficient financial resources to repurchase all of the notes that are tendered upon a change of control and repay our other indebtedness that could become due upon a change of control. We may require additional financing from third parties to fund any such repurchases, and we may be unable to obtain such financing on satisfactory terms or at all. Further, we may be contractually restricted under the terms of our then-outstanding indebtedness from repurchasing all of the notes that are tendered upon a change of control. Accordingly, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to repurchase your notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers of any such restrictions. Our failure to repurchase the notes upon a change of control would cause a default under the indenture that governs the notes and a cross default under our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility also provides that a change in control (as defined therein) will be a default that permits lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase the notes and reducing the practical benefit of the offer-to-purchase provisions to the holders of the notes. Any of our future debt agreements may contain similar provisions.

The change of control provisions in the indenture that governs the notes may not protect you from certain important corporate events.

The change of control provisions in the indenture that governs the notes may not protect you from certain important corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization (which would increase the level of our indebtedness), reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction. Such a transaction may not involve a change in voting power or beneficial ownership or, even if it does, may not involve a change that would trigger our obligation to repurchase the notes. If such an event occurs, we will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes and you may be required to continue to hold your notes despite such event. See “Description of other indebtedness” and “Description of notes—Change of control.”

Holders of notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have their notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of “substantially all” of our assets.

The definition of change of control in the indenture that governs the notes includes a phrase relating to the sale of “all or substantially all” of our assets. There is no precise established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, your ability to require us to repurchase your notes as a result of a sale of less than all of our assets to another person may be uncertain.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws may permit a court to void the notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and the guarantees and require holders of the notes to return payments received and, if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the notes.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the notes and the incurrence of the guarantees of the notes. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state, the notes or guarantees could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (1) we or any of the guarantors, as applicable, issued the notes or incurred the guarantees with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (2) we or any of the guarantors, as applicable, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for either issuing the notes or incurring the guarantees and, in the case of (2) only, one of the following is also true at the time thereof:

19

Table of Contents

·                  we or any of the guarantors, as applicable, were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantees;

·                  the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantees left us or any of the guarantors, as applicable, with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business;

·                  we or any of the guarantors intended to, or believed that we or such guarantor would, incur debts beyond our or such guarantor’s ability to pay such debts as they mature; or

·                  we or any of the guarantors was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against us or such guarantor, if, in either case, after final judgment, the judgment is unsatisfied.

As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or a valid antecedent debt is secured or satisfied. A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee to the extent that the guarantor did not obtain a reasonably equivalent benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes.

We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not we or the guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantees would not be further subordinated to our or any of our guarantors’ other debt. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred indebtedness:

·                  the sum of its debts, including contingent and unliquidated liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

·                  the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

·                  it could not pay its debts as they become due.

If a court were to find that the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of a guarantee was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the notes or such guarantee or subordinate the notes or such guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of ours or of the relevant guarantor, or require the holders of the notes to repay any amounts received with respect to the notes or such guarantee. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the notes. Further, the voidance of the notes could result in an event of default with respect to our and our subsidiaries’ other debt that could result in the acceleration of such debt.

Although each guarantee entered into by a subsidiary contains a provision intended to limit that guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, this provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer or conveyance law or may reduce that guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless. In addition, in a recent Florida bankruptcy case, these types of provisions were found to be unenforceable.

Finally, as a court of equity, a bankruptcy court may subordinate the claims in respect of the notes to other claims against us under the principle of equitable subordination if such court determines that (1) the holders of the notes engaged in some type of inequitable conduct, (2) the inequitable conduct resulted in injury to our other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the holders of the notes and (3) equitable subordination is not inconsistent with the provisions of the bankruptcy code.

Table of Contents

Your ability to transfer the new notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the new notes.

The new notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. We do not intend to have the new notes listed on any national securities exchange or to arrange for their quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. The initial purchasers have advised us that they intend to make a market in the new notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations; however, the initial purchasers are not obligated to make a market in the new notes and, if commenced, they may discontinue their market making activities at any time without notice. In addition, such market making activities may be limited while the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement is pending. Therefore, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for the new notes. The liquidity of any market for the new notes will depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation:

·                  the number of holders of the new notes;

·                  our operating performance and financial condition;

·                  the market for similar securities;

·                  the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the new notes; and

·                  prevailing interest rates.

The market price for the new notes may be volatile.

Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to severe disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. We cannot assure you that the market, if any, for the new notes will be free from similar disruptions or that any such disruptions may not adversely affect the liquidity in that market or the prices at which you may sell your new notes. In addition, subsequent to their issuance, the new notes may trade at a discount, depending upon prevailing interest rates, our operating performance and financial condition, the market for similar securities and other factors. Therefore, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your new notes at a particular time or that the price that you receive when you sell will be favorable.

A lowering or withdrawal of the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities by credit rating agencies may reduce the market value of the notes, increase our future borrowing costs and reduce our access to capital.

Our debt securities currently have non-investment grade credit ratings, and any credit rating assigned to our debt securities could be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a credit rating agency if, in that credit rating agency’s judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of such credit rating, such as adverse changes, so warrant. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in the credit ratings of our debt securities will generally affect the market value of the notes. Credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the notes. Additionally, credit ratings may not reflect the potential effect of risks relating to the structure or marketing of the notes.

Any future lowering of the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities would likely make it more difficult or expensive for us to obtain additional debt financing. If any credit rating initially assigned to the new notes is subsequently lowered or withdrawn for any reason, you may not be able to resell your new notes without a substantial discount.

Use of proceeds

The exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our and the guarantors’ obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new notes and have agreed to pay the expenses of the exchange offer, other than certain taxes. In consideration for issuing the new notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange old notes in a like principal amount. The form and terms of the new notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except as otherwise described herein under “The exchange offer—Terms of the exchange offer.” The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any change in our outstanding indebtedness.

The exchange offer

This section of the prospectus describes the exchange offer. Although we believe that the description describes the material terms of the exchange offer, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein, for a complete understanding of the exchange offer.

Purpose and effects of the exchange offer

On November 27, 2012, or the issue date, we sold $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020 in a private placement. On or after the issue date, the old notes were resold to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in and in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Also on November 27, 2012, we, the guarantors and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of itself and the other initial purchasers, entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we and the guarantors agreed that we and they would file a registration statement with the SEC relating to an offer to exchange the old notes for SEC-registered notes with terms identical to the old notes (except that the new notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate applicable to the old notes). The exchange offer will remain open for at least 20 business days after the date we mail notice of the exchange offer to noteholders. We and the guarantors will use our and their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer within 340 days after the old notes were issued. If the exchange offer is not completed on or prior to the date that is 340 days after the old notes were issued, the annual interest rate borne by the old notes may be increased.

The term “holder” with respect to the exchange offer means any person in whose name old notes are registered on our books or the books of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or any other person who has obtained a properly completed certificate of transfer from the registered holder, or any person whose old notes are held of record by DTC who desires to deliver such old notes by book-entry transfer at DTC.

We have not requested, and do not intend to request, an interpretation by the staff of the SEC with respect to whether the new notes issued in the exchange offer in exchange for the old notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by any holder without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act. Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe the new notes issued in exchange for old notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act provided that:

·                  you are not a broker-dealer that purchased old notes directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act;

·                  you are not our “affiliate”; and

·                  you acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of your business and that you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes.

Any holder that tenders in the exchange offer with the intention to participate, or for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of the new notes or that is our affiliate may not rely upon such interpretations by the staff of the SEC and, in the absence of an exemption, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction. Any holder that fails to comply with such requirements may incur liabilities under the Securities Act for which the holder will not be indemnified by us. Each broker-dealer (other than an affiliate of ours) that receives new notes for its own account in the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. We

26

Table of Contents

have agreed that, for a period of 180 days following the completion of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of distribution.”

We are not making the exchange offer to, nor will we accept surrenders for exchange from, holders of old notes in any jurisdiction in which the exchange offer or its acceptance would not comply with applicable securities or blue sky laws.

By tendering in the exchange offer, you will represent to us that, among other things:

·                  you are acquiring the new notes in the exchange offer in the ordinary course of your business, whether or not you are a holder;

·                  you are transferring good and marketable title to the old notes free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances or rights of parties other than you;

·                  you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes;

·                  you are not a broker-dealer, or if you are a broker-dealer, you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act to the extent applicable; and

·                  you are not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or, if you are our “affiliate,” you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

Following the completion of the exchange offer, the holders of notes will not have any further registration rights (except in the limited circumstances provided under the registration rights agreement), and the old notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer. See “—Consequences of failure to exchange.” Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes could be adversely affected.

Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary and you should carefully consider whether to accept. We urge you to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on whether to participate in the exchange offer.

Consequences of failure to exchange

The old notes that are not exchanged for new notes in the exchange offer will remain restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act and subject to restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, such old notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except:

(1)           to us or any of our subsidiaries, upon redemption thereof or otherwise;

(2)           so long as the old notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act;

(3)           in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act;

(4)           to an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) that is not a qualified institutional buyer and that is purchasing old notes for its own account or for the account of another institutional accredited investor, in each case in a minimum principal amount of old notes of $250,000;

27

Table of Contents

(5)           in reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or

(6)           pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

In all of the situations discussed above, the resale must be in accordance with the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. In the case of (3), (4) and (5) above, we or the trustee under the indenture that governs the old notes may require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, a certification or other information satisfactory to us or such trustee.

To the extent old notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the principal amount of outstanding old notes will decrease. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes could be adversely affected.

Terms of the exchange offer

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all old notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. We will issue new notes in exchange for the same principal amount of old notes accepted in the exchange offer. The new notes will accrue interest on the same terms as the old notes; however, holders of the old notes accepted for exchange will not receive accrued interest thereon at the time of exchange; rather, all accrued interest on the old notes will become obligations under the new notes. Holders may tender some or all of their old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, old notes may be tendered only in principal amounts equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The form and terms of the new notes are the same as the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and will not bear legends restricting their transfer pursuant to the Securities Act, and, except in the limited circumstances provided under the registration rights agreement, holders of the new notes will not be entitled to the rights of holders of old notes under the registration rights agreement.

The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes that they replace, and will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the indenture which governs all of the notes, including the payment of principal and interest.

We are sending this prospectus and the letter of transmittal to all registered holders of outstanding old notes. Only a registered holder of old notes or such holder’s legal representative or attorney-in-fact as reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture that governs the notes may participate in the exchange offer. There will be no fixed record date for determining the holders of old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

Holders of the old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenter’s rights under Minnesota law or the indenture that governs the notes in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the SEC’s rules and regulations thereunder.

We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of the old notes for the purposes of receiving the new notes. The new notes delivered in the exchange offer will be issued on the earliest practicable date following our acceptance for exchange of old notes.

If any tendered old notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, our withdrawal of the exchange offer, the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein or otherwise, certificates for any such unaccepted old notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as promptly as practicable after the expiration date of the exchange offer or our withdrawal of the exchange offer, as applicable. Any acceptance, waiver of default or rejection of a tender of notes shall be at our sole discretion and shall be conclusive, final and binding.

Holders that tender old notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of old notes in the

exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain taxes, in connection with the exchange offer. See “—Fees and expenses.”
