Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On May 23, 2011, United Refining Company (the Company) issued a press release announcing an offer to exchange up to $365 million in aggregate principal amount of its 10.500% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a like principal amount of its outstanding unregistered 10.500% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018, which were issued on March 8, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The terms of the registered notes are substantially similar in all respects (including principal amount, interest rate and maturity) to the terms of the unregistered notes for which they may be exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer, except that the registered notes:
| will be freely tradeable by holders thereof; and |
| will be issued free of any covenants regarding registration. |
Like the unregistered notes, the registered notes will be the Companys first priority senior secured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to our future debt and other obligations that expressly provide for their subordination to the notes and rank equally in right of payment with all of our unsubordinated indebtedness and effectively senior to all our unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral but effectively junior with respect to obligations secured by liens on assets that do not constitute collateral to the extent of the value of such assets subject to such liens. As with the unregistered notes, all of the Companys existing direct and indirect subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed the registered notes. The guarantees of the new notes by the subsidiary guarantors will be unsecured and will rank equally to all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the guarantors.
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 23, 2011, unless extended by the Company.
