The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for working capital and other general purposes, which initially will include repayment of indebtedness under its revolving credit facility and may in the future include share repurchases pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase authorization.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereunder.
