Pursuant to Section 10.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 4, 2013, which supplements the Senior Indenture, dated as of March 4, 2013 (together, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, the Company issued a redemption notice announcing the redemption of all outstanding Notes (the “Redemption Notice”), of which an aggregate principal amount of approximately $68.0 million is outstanding. The redemption price is equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date on September 1, 2016 up to, but excluding, January 27, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”). In lieu of receiving the redemption price, holders of the Notes may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 26, 2017.  The conversion rate of the Notes is 94.3396 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
