Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
Commencement of Senior Notes Offering
On May 11, 2015, CNO Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced an offering of $800 million of senior notes, consisting of tranches maturing in 2020 and 2025. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with borrowings of $100 million under an expected $150 million four-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, to (i) repay all amounts outstanding under its existing senior secured credit facility, (ii) redeem and satisfy and discharge all of its outstanding 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Existing Notes”) and (iii) pay fees and expenses related to the foregoing. Any remaining amounts will be used for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases. A copy of the press release announcing the commencement of the offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Redemption of Existing Notes and Satisfaction and Discharge of the Existing Notes Indenture
On May 11, 2015, the Company requested that Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”), on behalf of the Company, provide notice of conditional redemption to the holders of the Company’s Existing Notes. Pursuant to the notice of conditional redemption, all outstanding Existing Notes will be redeemed on June 10, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Existing Notes plus the applicable premium under the terms of the related indenture (the “Redemption Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The notice of conditional redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Company on or prior to the Redemption Date of net proceeds from one or more debt financing transactions in an aggregate amount at least equal to the amount required to pay the Redemption Price. Prior to the Redemption Date, the Company anticipates depositing, with the Trustee, sufficient funds to pay the Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date, on the Redemption Date and any other fees and expenses payable under the indenture. As a result, the Company will be released from its obligations under the Existing Notes and the related indenture pursuant to the satisfaction and discharge provisions of such indenture.
