The offering of the Issuer’s 4.625% senior secured notes due 2023 is subject to several closing conditions and there can be no assurance that the offering will close. The closing of the offering of the Senior Notes is not contingent on the closing of the offering of the senior secured notes.

Conflicts of Interest:

Because, pending the payment of the redemption prices for the 83/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 and 53/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2018, the Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily repay indebtedness owed to the underwriters and certain affiliates of the underwriters  who are lenders under the asset-based revolving credit facility and its accounts receivable securitization facility, there is a ‘‘conflict of interest’’ as that term is defined in the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’). Accordingly, this offering is being made in compliance with FINRA Rule 5121. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is, therefore, assuming the responsibility of acting as the qualified independent underwriter in preparing the prospectus supplement, in pricing the offering and conducting due diligence. No underwriter having a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121 will sell to a discretionary account any security with respect to which the conflict exists, unless the member has received specific written approval of the transaction from the account holder and retains documentation of the approval in its records.

 

Trade Date:

March 12, 2015

Settlement Date:

March 26, 2015

Extended Settlement:

Delivery of the Senior Notes will be made against payment therefor on March 26, 2015, which will be the tenth business day following the date of pricing of the Senior Notes, or T+10. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Senior Notes on the date of pricing or the next six succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Senior Notes initially settle in T+10, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Senior Notes who wish to trade the Senior Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.
