The Company also assumed all outstanding indebtedness of Omega and its subsidiaries, as described below. The Non-Cash Consideration shares are subject to a lock-up agreement, and the Company has granted Alychlo registration rights in connection with the issuance of such shares.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company assumed all outstanding indebtedness of Omega and its subsidiaries, which included (i) EUR 135,043,889 of 5.1045% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and USD 20,000,000 (after hedging arrangements, EUR 16,247,000) of 6.19% senior notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”), (ii) EUR 300,000,000 of 5.125% retail bonds due 2017, EUR 180,000,000 of 4.500% retail bonds due 2017 and EUR 120,000,000 of 5.000% retail bonds due 2019 (collectively, the “Retail Notes”), (iii) approximately EUR 500,000,000 available under a revolving credit facility and (iv) approximately EUR 50,000,000 available under certain overdraft facilities.
