Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On May 19, 2014, CNO Financial Group, Inc. ("CNO" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it is seeking to amend its senior secured credit facility to waive the requirement that the net proceeds in excess of $125 million to be received from the sale of Conseco Life Insurance Company ("CLIC") be used to prepay amounts outstanding under CNO’s senior secured credit facility. A copy of CNO’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The amendment to the senior secured credit facility will not impact the restrictions set forth in the Indenture for the Company’s 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 regarding the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of CLIC. Under the Indenture, the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of CLIC (defined as “Net Available Cash” under the Indenture) may be used to (i) reinvest in or acquire assets to be used in the insurance business or a related business or (ii) repay the senior secured credit facility. Under the Indenture, any Net Available Cash not so reinvested or applied within 365 days after the closing of the sale of CLIC must be used to make an offer to purchase the outstanding notes at par and, in the interim, may only be invested as set forth in the Indenture. The Company currently plans to reinvest the cash received from the sale of CLIC in its business including the payment of $28 million to recapture a block of life insurance business from Wilton Reassurance Company.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
