On February 14, 2012, Rite Aid Corporation (the “Company”) announced its intention to offer $481.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the “Notes Offering”). The notes will be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The proceeds of the Notes Offering will be used, together with available cash, to fund the Company’s previously announced tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 8.625% senior notes due 2015 and related consent solicitation. The Company expects to call for redemption any 8.625% senior notes due 2015 not tendered in the tender offer.
The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
