The notes are being sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, the Company granted to the initial purchasers an option to purchase, within a 13 day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $26.25 million aggregate principal amount of the notes.
