The 2029 Notes will be redeemed at 105.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Upon the consummation of these transactions, Gray expects to have an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $200 million of 2029 Notes and $675 million of Term Loan G.
