(“Prudential”) and certain of Prudential’s affiliates (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which Cubic agreed to issue and sell $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.35% Series A Senior Notes Due 2025, which were purchased by certain of the Purchasers on March 12, 2013, and $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 3.35% Series B Senior Notes Due 2025 (the “Series B Notes”), which were to be purchased on or about April 23, 2013, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

 

On April 23, 2013, the Series B Notes were purchased by certain of the Purchasers.  Cubic intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Series B Notes to refinance existing indebtedness, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
