On April 9, 2007, Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation, (the Company), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of March 28, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement) among the Company and the initial purchasers named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the Initial Purchasers), sold $400 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $200 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 2015 Notes) and $200 million of 7.50% Senior Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes and, together with the 2015 Notes, the Notes) to the Initial Purchasers (the Offerings). The Company issued the Notes pursuant to the Indenture dated as of February 1, 1993 between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to The Bank of New York, as trustee, as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2007 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2007. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offerings together with available cash to fund the closing of the tender offers for the Companys 6.50% Notes due 2008 and 7.70% Notes due 2009. The Initial Purchasers will resell the Notes in private transactions in conformance with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
On April 9, 2007, in connection with the Offerings, the Company entered into two Registration Rights Agreements pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission registration statements relating to offers to exchange the Notes for issues of SEC-registered notes (the Exchange Notes) that evidence the same indebtedness and have terms identical to the Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer).
On April 9, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had completed the Offerings.
In connection with the completion of the Offering, the Company is filing certain exhibits as part of this Form 8-K.
