Use of Proceeds:

   The net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, are estimated to be approximately $295.2 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund the repurchase of a portion of our outstanding 2026 notes in the tender offer described in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Recent Developments,” and to redeem a portion of any remaining 2026 notes that are not tendered following the expiration of the tender offer, in each case together with accrued interest, any applicable premium payments and expenses related thereto.

Extended Close:

   We expect to deliver the notes against payment therefor on or about February 2, 2021 which will be the tenth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the delivery date may be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of trade to prevent a failed settlement. Investors who wish to trade the notes prior to the delivery date should consult their own advisors.
