notes due June 15, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and its 6.50% senior notes due December 1, 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) that are tendered and accepted for payment in the previously announced tender offers. Certain affiliates of
the underwriters hold some of the 2019 Notes and/or 2016 Notes. In the event that any of the underwriters, together with their respective affiliates, receive at least 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, such underwriters will be deemed to have
a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. However, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, no “qualified independent underwriter” is required because the notes are investment grade-rated by one or more
nationally recognized statistical rating agencies.
