The exchange offer and consent solicitation had been scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 23, 2011. As of the initial expiration date on September 23, 2011, 99.3% of the $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2012 convertible notes had been tendered into the exchange offer and consent solicitation.
The company and its advisors continue to work with the financial and legal advisors to the informal committee of noteholders to finalize the documentation and terms of the recapitalization plan, of which the exchange offer and consent solicitation are an integral part. The company intends to complete the exchange offer of the existing 2012 convertible notes by the end of September, at which time it expects to close the entire refinancing.
