The purchase of the Notes was funded through lower cost borrowings made under our revolving credit facility (Bank Credit Facility) incurring interest at the floating Eurodollar deposit rate plus the applicable margin detailed in the Bank Credit Facility. The terms of the Bank Credit Facility are described in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2010 and incorporated herein by reference.
As a result of the Note repurchase, the Company will reduce its interest payments and improve its financial flexibility with a combination of fixed term debt and variable revolving debt, while at the same time maintaining a large amount of readily available liquidity.
