announced that it has priced its previously announced private offering
of $300 million in the aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior

net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of the borrowings
outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes will
be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Global. The sale of the Senior
Notes is expected to be completed on or about June 4, 2015, subject to
customary closing conditions. The Senior Notes will be issued at par.
The Senior Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed
to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance
upon Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or
the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.
This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, the Senior Notes, nor shall there be
any sale of the Senior Notes in any state in which the offer,
solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
