Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein.  The Notes were registered for offer and sale by the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-221410).  In connection with the public offering and sale of the Notes, the Company filed a prospectus dated November 8, 2017 and a prospectus supplement dated November 13, 2017 (collectively, the “Final Prospectus”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing May June 1, 2018, to holders of record on the preceding May 15 or November 15, as the case may be.  The 2024 Notes will mature on December 1, 2024 and the 2027 Notes will mature on December 1, 2027.  The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.  The terms of the Notes are further described in the Final Prospectus, which description is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Notes are expected to be issued on November 16, 2017 pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of January 15, 1997, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor to Fleet National Bank) (the “Trustee”).
