Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
The Company has been engaged in negotiations with four unaffiliated beneficial holders (or investment managers or advisors acting on behalf of the funds and/or accounts they manage that are beneficial holders) of certain debt of the Company, including the Company’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (which holders we refer to, collectively, as the Ad Hoc Group) in connection with the Ad Hoc Group’s consideration of a potential refinancing transaction relating to the outstanding debt of the Company and its subsidiaries (which we refer to as the Refinancing Transaction).
Each member of the Ad Hoc Group has previously entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the confidentiality agreements, the Company has agreed, as and when provided in such agreements, to publicly disclose certain information provided by the Company and its representatives.
One member of the Ad Hoc Group has declined to continue to engage in negotiations with the Company and to extend the disclosure deadline in its confidentiality agreement beyond October 22, 2024. Accordingly, information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Disclosure Materials, dated as of October 22, 2024, which are furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference, is being furnished to satisfy the Company’s public disclosure obligations pursuant to that member’s confidentiality agreement. The term sheets setting forth (1) the Ad Hoc Group’s most recent proposal to the Company and (2) the Company's most recent proposal to the Ad Hoc Group, in each case as to the material terms of a potential Refinancing Transaction, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
As of October 22, 2024, the Company has not reached any agreement with the Ad Hoc Group or any member thereof with respect to a Refinancing Transaction. However, the Company continues to actively engage in negotiations with the other members of the Ad Hoc Group.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, shall be deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
