The bonds were scheduled to mature between 2020 and 2023 and were rated as junk by Fitch.
The bonds' accrued and unpaid interest was also paid for $34.07 million.
Citigroup Global Markets, Goldman Sachs, HSBC Securities USA, J.P. Morgan Securities, BofA Securities, Credit Agricole Securities (USA) and Mizuho Securities USA served as dealer managers for the transactions.
