The New Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries.
The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the New Notes, together with cash on hand, to (i) fund the redemption of the 2026 Notes (as defined below) and (ii) pay fees and expenses related to the redemption of the 2026 Notes and the offering of the New Notes.

Concurrently with the offering of the New Notes, the Company issued a notice of conditional redemption to redeem in full the $750 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). The Company today notified the trustee for the 2026 Notes that the conditions to the conditional redemption have been satisfied and the redemption of the 2026 Notes will occur on October 16, 2020.
