Concurrent Offering of Senior Notes due 2016 and Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015


On May 28, 2009, we commenced two separate offerings:  an offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 10.875% Senior Notes due 2016 and an offering of $150 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (or $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) (together, the “Concurrent Offerings”).  The Senior Notes were sold at 97.633% of  their face amount and therefore carry original issue discount.  Assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option with respect to the offering of the 4.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, the net proceeds of the Concurrent Offerings, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses, will be approximately $433.4 million.  The closing of this common stock offering is conditioned on the closing of the Concurrent Offerings.
