(the “Company”) announced that it launched and priced a private offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering of the Notes (the “Offering”) is expected to close on August 19, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Copies of the press releases announcing the offering and pricing of the Notes are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes in the Offering to redeem in full its outstanding 6.375% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), pay related fees and expenses in connection with the Offering and the redemption, and repay a portion of the amount outstanding under its five-year asset-based revolving credit facility, dated as of July 30, 2026. The redemption is conditioned on the consummation of the Offering or an alternative debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500 million on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor anything contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption or an offer to redeem or purchase any of the outstanding 2027 Notes. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the Notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.
