The offering is expected to close on September 18, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of CSC and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be entered into between CSC and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee), and a Supplemental Indenture to be entered into between CSC and the Trustee. CSC intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund (i) the redemption of a portion of its 5.50% senior notes due 2013 and/or (ii) the redemption of all or a portion of its 5.00% senior notes due 2013, in each case, pursuant to the terms thereof. CSC plans to invest the net proceeds in short-term interest bearing securities pending the redemptions described above.
