Summary
The following disclosure under Use of Proceeds on page S-31 and each other location where such information appears in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement is amended to read as follows:
We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $244 million, after deducting estimated fees and expenses (including underwriting discounts and commissions). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our credit facility and for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2011, borrowings under our credit facility were $185.0 million. Amounts to be repaid were incurred for general corporate purposes, including to fund our capital expenditure program, and may be reborrowed from time to time. Our credit facility matures on May 24, 2012, and the average annual interest rate for 2010 and the first three months of 2011, which includes the effect of interest rate swaps, was 3.5% and 2.8%, respectively.
The following disclosure under Description of the Notes Ranking and subordination on page S-99 and each other location where such information appears in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement is amended to read as follows:
Assuming that we had applied the net proceeds we receive from the offering in the manner described under Use of proceeds, as of March 31, 2011:
| our outstanding Senior Indebtedness would have been $38.0 million, which includes letters of credit and hedging obligations with parties to our senior credit facilities; |
| we would have had no Senior Subordinated Indebtedness other than the Notes; |
| our Restricted Subsidiaries would have had $205.5 million of liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities); and |
| our non-guarantor Subsidiaries would not have had any liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities). |
