The size of the offering was increased from the previously announced $250 million to $300 million. The Notes mature on February 15, 2028 and pay interest at the rate of 9.250% per year, payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The first interest payment on the Notes will be made on August 15, 2023. The Notes were priced at 98% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest from February 1, 2023.

The Notes will have substantially identical terms, other than the issue date and issue price, as the Existing Notes, and the Notes and the Existing Notes will be treated as a single series of securities under the Indenture and will vote together as a single class.
