This issuance increases the company's total debt. As it is senior unsecured debt, it ranks below secured debt. Investors should analyze the company's debt-to-equity and debt-to-assets ratios in future financial statements to assess the impact on financial leverage and risk.

The notes mature on January 15, 2035, bear a fixed interest rate of 5.350% payable semi-annually, and are guaranteed by the parent company and two business trusts. The company can redeem the notes under certain conditions, including a make-whole premium. The indenture contains restrictive covenants concerning additional indebtedness and asset maintenance.

Effectively subordinated means that while the notes are senior unsecured debt, they rank below any debt that is secured by collateral. In the event of bankruptcy or liquidation, secured creditors would be paid from the proceeds of the collateral before any recovery is made by holders of these senior unsecured notes. It also ranks below debt of subsidiaries.
