Item 8.01 Other Events
On April 6, 2009, the Company announced that it had provided notice to the indenture trustee of its
election to redeem $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 71/2% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2010 (the “Redeemed Notes”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
outstanding, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (the “Redemption Price”). Effective May
1, 2009, the notes are redeemable at the Redemption Price at the Company’s option. The Company
expects to redeem the Redeemed Notes on May 19, 2009 (the “Redemption Date”). On the Redemption
Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable and interest on the Redeemed Notes will
cease to accrue. Following the Redemption Date, approximately $75,375,000 of the Company’s 71/2%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 will remain outstanding under the indenture.
The Company expects to fund the Redemption Price primarily with cash flow generated from
operations, together with amounts available under its senior credit facilities.
