The New Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which the Issuer previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 8.000% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Existing Notes") in 2023, all of which remain outstanding. The New Notes have the same terms as the Existing Notes, other than the issue date, the issue price, the first date on which interest will be paid and the first date from which interest will accrue, and are treated as a single series with the Existing Notes under the indenture. The Existing Notes and the New Notes are guaranteed by certain direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries of the Issuer that guaranty the company's revolving credit facility. The New Notes are expected to trade under the same CUSIP numbers as the Existing Notes, except that the New Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") will have a different CUSIP number than the Existing Notes until 40 days after the issue date of the New Notes.
