Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 31, 2012, the Company paid for $204.7 million principal amount of its 5.95% Senior Notes due 2013 (“5.95% Senior Notes”), which were validly tendered by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2012, in response to the Company’s offer to purchase any and all of the 5.95% Senior Notes for 103% of their principal amount with regard to the 5.95% Senior Notes that were tendered by or before that time, and for 102% of their principal amount with regard to the 5.95% Senior Notes that are tendered after that time but before the offer expires.

The purchase price for the 5.95% Senior Notes that were tendered by or before 5:00 p.m. on July 30, 2012 includes an early tendered payment of $10 per $1,000 principal amount that will not be paid for the 5.95% Senior Notes that are tendered after that time. The Company’s obligation to purchase tendered 5.95% Senior Notes had been conditioned upon completion of a sale of at least $300 million principal amount of a new issue of Senior Notes due 2017. That condition was satisfied by a sale of $350 million principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017 on July 20, 2012.

A total of $63.0 million principal amount of 5.95% Senior Notes are still outstanding. The Company will accept and purchase all the remaining 5.95% Senior Notes that are validly tendered after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2012 and before the offer expires, which will occur at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2012, unless the Company extends the offer. It will pay for those 5.95% Senior Notes shortly after the offer expires. Tenders of 5.95% Senior Notes after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2012 may not be withdrawn.
