2023 Notes
The 2023 Notes were issued in January 2013 and mature on January 15, 2023. Interest is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
2024 Notes
The 2024 Notes were issued in March 2014 and mature on March 15, 2024. Interest is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The proceeds from the offering of $325 million, net of related issuance costs of $3.8 million and together with existing cash on hand, were used to redeem the remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018 ($280 million) and to redeem 10% of the original aggregate principal amount at maturity of the senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") ($35 million) at stated redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the respective redemption dates. In connection with these transactions, the Company paid an aggregate of $327.1 million and recognized losses of $17.5 million on the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2014.
2025 Notes
The 2025 Notes were issued in November 2014 and mature on January 15, 2025. Interest is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. Of the $650 million of proceeds from the offering, net of related issuance costs of $8.4 million, $250 million was restricted for the redemption of the remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes ($245 million) and $350 million was restricted to finance, in part, the acquisition of Eagle Ottawa (see Note 2, "Acquisition"). Cash proceeds restricted for redemption of the 2020 Notes and the acquisition of Eagle Ottawa were recorded in other current assets and other long-term assets, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In January 2015, the Company acquired Eagle Ottawa and used $350 million of restricted cash proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes, along with $500 million in borrowings under the Term Loan Facility (see "— Credit Agreement" below), to finance the acquisition. In March 2015, the Company redeemed the 2020 Notes at a price equal to 104.063% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid $255.0 million, including $250 million of restricted cash proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes, and recognized a loss of $14.3 million on the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2015. The use of restricted cash for the acquisition of Eagle Ottawa and the redemption of the 2020 Notes is reflected as non-cash investing and financing activities, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The remaining proceeds of the 2025 Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the payment of fees and expenses associated with the acquisition of Eagle Ottawa and related financing transactions.
