principal amount of 3.250% senior secured notes due 2024 (the "Notes").
The Company also announced that it has closed the refinancing of its existing senior credit facilities which involved
prepaying its existing term facilities and establishing a €500.0 million term facility and a USD610.0

restatement of the senior credit facilities together with the issuance of the Notes, the "Refinancing"). As part of the
