(the “Company”), completed the issuance and sale of $500,000,000 in gross proceeds of the Issuer’s 5.625% senior notes due 2033 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated November 24, 2025 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee of the Notes (the “Trustee”), and the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer as guarantors. The net proceeds from the Notes offering will be used (i) to redeem all $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s outstanding 7.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIPs: 005095AA2 and U0R60PAA7) (the “2028 Notes”), (ii) to repay a portion of the amount outstanding under the Issuer’s revolving secured credit facility and (iii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Notes offering. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer, will mature on December 1, 2033, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms, and will bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per year, with interest payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2026. The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time prior to December 1, 2028 at 100.000% of the principal amount redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium. Thereafter, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes at annually declining redemption premiums until December 1, 2030, at and after which date the redemption price will be equal to 100.000% of the principal amount redeemed. The foregoing description of the Notes and the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility will not be under any obligation to provide any such additional term loans or increases to the revolving credit facility, and the incurrence of any additional term loans or increases to the revolving credit facility is subject to customary conditions precedent. Borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate, which can be, at the applicable borrower’s option, (i) for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, either (A) a base rate, which is the greatest of (1) the prime rate last published in the Wall Street Journal, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, each as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in either case, plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, or (B) the greater of the term SOFR rate for the applicable interest period and zero; (ii) for loans denominated in pounds sterling, the greater of a daily simple RFR determined based on SONIA and zero; (iii) for loans denominated in euros, the greater of an EURIBOR rate for the applicable interest period and zero; (iv) for loans denominated in Canadian dollars, either (A) the greater of the term CORRA rate for the applicable interest period and zero or (B) the greater of PRIMCAN Index rate that is published by Bloomberg and 1.00%; and (v) for loans denominated in Japanese yen, the greater of a TIBOR Rate for the applicable interest period and zero, plus, in the case of sub-clauses (i) through (v) above, an applicable margin. Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the applicable margin is 0.00% to 0.75% for base rate borrowings and 1.00% to 1.75% for term SOFR borrowings, daily simple RFR borrowings, EURIBOR Rate borrowings, term CORRA borrowings and TIBOR Rate borrowings, in each case, depending on the Net Average Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The commitment fee rate payable in respect of unused portions of the revolving credit facility varies from 0.125% to 0.275% per annum, depending on the Net Average Total Leverage Ratio.
