6 terms

senior notes financial

"remaining $1,235.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.50% senior notes due"

Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

cusips financial

"5.50% senior notes due December 2029 (CUSIPS: 737446 AP9, U7318U AP7 and"

A CUSIP is a unique nine-character code assigned to stocks, bonds and other U.S. and Canadian securities that works like a barcode, letting traders, brokers and databases identify a specific issue quickly and without confusion. Investors rely on CUSIPs to match trades, settle transactions, track holdings and find official documents, so correct CUSIP use helps prevent errors and ensures records and regulatory filings point to the exact security.

redemption price financial

"redeemed at a redemption price of 101.833% of the principal amount thereof"

The redemption price is the amount of money a person receives when they sell or redeem a bond or investment before it matures. It’s important because it determines how much you get back and can affect your overall profit or loss on the investment. Think of it like the price you get when returning a gift card early—it's the value you receive at that time.

accrued and unpaid interest financial

"plus the accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date"

Accrued and unpaid interest is the interest that has built up on a loan or debt but hasn't been paid yet. It's like owing your friend money for a favor over time—you're expected to pay it later, even though you haven't paid it yet. This matters because it shows how much you owe beyond the original amount borrowed.

trustee financial

"Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is the trustee for the 2029 Notes."

A trustee is a person or institution legally appointed to hold and manage assets or enforce an agreement on behalf of other people (beneficiaries). Think of a trustee as a neutral referee or custodian who must act in the beneficiaries’ best interests, follow the trust or contract rules, and handle distributions, recordkeeping and enforcement. Investors care because a trustworthy trustee protects their rights, ensures promised payments or remedies are delivered, and can influence recoveries if things go wrong.

private offering financial

"6.50% senior notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes") in a private offering that is expected"

A private offering is the sale of securities—such as shares or bonds—directly to a limited group of investors rather than through public markets or a broad auction. It matters to investors because it changes who owns the company and how much cash the business has available, which can dilute existing shareholders, affect share liquidity and price discovery, and signal strategic moves or funding needs; think of it as selling a batch of goods to a few trusted customers instead of opening a shop to everyone.
