Also on Friday, the company said it set the total purchase price at $1,095.18 for each $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered by the early deadline.

Pricing was set at 2 p.m. ET on Dec. 5 using the bid-side price of the 1.5% U.S. Treasury note due Oct. 31, 2019 plus a fixed spread of 120 basis points.

The total purchase price included an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 of notes.

The tender offer is set to end at 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 18, with settlement on Dec. 8 for early tendered notes and Dec. 19 for remaining tenders. The offer began Nov. 14.
