Proceeds will be used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the company’s existing revolving credit facility, which was $263 million at May 31, and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

Closing is expected in mid-July, subject to, among other things, successful syndication, negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive loan documentation, and various customary conditions.
