Pursuant to Regulation FD, the Company is furnishing certain excerpts from the Preliminary Offering Circular as Exhibit 99.1 of this report.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On March 6, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had commenced a private offering (the “Offering”) to eligible purchasers of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay all borrowing outstanding under the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes. In accordance with Rule 135c of the Securities Act, a copy of this press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and accordingly, this notice is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to sell nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase any securities of the Company.

The 2022 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
