The offering of the Notes is expected to close on May 2, 2017, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Issuers intend to apply the proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of their outstanding 13.375% senior secured notes due 2019 and pay fees and expenses related to this offering.
