The private offering of 5.125% notes is an increase from the $1.25 billion announced previously. The transaction is expected to close Dec. 27, subject to customary closing conditions, according to company news releases.

The company plans to use proceeds from the offerings to help fund tender offers for its outstanding 6%, 5.875% and 5.375% senior notes and redeem any of the notes not tendered in the tender offers.

Any remainder of the net proceeds from the offerings will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of existing indebtedness.
