On September 10, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the intention of two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to offer $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) in an offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and to amend and restate their $150 million asset-based revolving credit facility to convert it to a $200 million cash flow revolving credit facility. Pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act, a copy of such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered (i) inside the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (ii) outside the United States only to non-U.S. investors in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
