The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to pay down the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, including Canada. Accordingly, the Notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States, including on a private placement basis in Canada to “accredited investors” who are not individuals and are “permitted clients” under applicable Canadian securities laws, in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in Canada absent an exemption from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes, nor shall there be any sale of Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification of the Notes under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
