| Use of Proceeds: |
Our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $988.093 million, after deducing the underwriters’ discount and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with the net proceeds of approximately $700 million from borrowings under our new senior credit facility and cash on hand, to repay all amounts outstanding under our existing senior secured credit facilities and to terminate the associated credit agreement.
We expect to enter into a senior unsecured credit agreement upon the consummation of this offering providing for up to $950 million in borrowings. The existing senior secured credit facilities that will be repaid and terminated in connection with this offering include term loan facilities with aggregate principal amount of $2,000 million, under which $1,700 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2009, and a revolving credit facility with aggregate principal amount of $75 million, under which no amounts were outstanding. The maturity date of both the term loan facilities and the revolving credit facility is February 27, 2013. As of December 31, 2009, the interest rate applicable to amounts outstanding under the term loan facilities was the LIBOR rate (set by the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate) plus 2.0%, for an effective rate of approximately 2.23094% (except with respect to $200 million of the borrowings, for which the effective rate was approximately 2.25563%). |
