On April 12, 2011, the Company completed the private placement of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due April 15, 2018 (the “Notes”) at par. The interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 th and October 15 th. The indenture for the Notes contains covenants which place restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, the payment of dividends, sale of assets, mergers and acquisitions and the granting of liens. The Notes provide for events of default including nonpayment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are guaranteed, subject to certain limitations. These guarantees may be shared, on a senior basis, under certain circumstances, with newly incurred debt outstanding in the future. At March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants. On April 15, 2014, the Company retired early a total of $50.0 million (25%) of the Notes. The Company redeemed $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes at a redemption price equal to 106.563% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company retired the $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes that it held. Upon completion of the redemption and retirement on April 15, 2014, $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding. The retirement of the Notes reduced the Company’s interest costs by $3.9 million annually beginning in the second quarter of 2014. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 on the Notes was $3.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
