The 2023 Notes were priced at 99.5% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 7.57%, and the 2021 Notes were priced at 101.625% of par (plus accrued interest from March 15, 2012), resulting in a yield to maturity of 7.24%.

To the extent that less than all of the outstanding 2014 Notes are tendered, or in the event our tender offer is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem or repurchase any or all of the 2014 Notes remaining outstanding, although we have no legal obligation to do so and the selection of any particular redemption date is in our discretion. Any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including funding our capital expenditure program.
