The Company paid a total of approximately $115 million in cash to holders of the Sealy Notes who properly converted their Sealy Notes in advance of the maturity date, pursuant to the terms of the Sealy Notes. Separately, the Company repaid in cash on the maturity date the aggregate outstanding accreted principal amount of the Sealy Notes of less than $100,000, together with the accretion amount thereon for the interest payment date falling on the maturity date, pursuant to the terms of the Sealy Notes.

The commitment to provide the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility terminated with its funding.

Tempur Sealy International, Inc. Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "As part of our overall 2016 capital structure plan, our 8% notes maturity was funded from our new senior credit facilities, resulting in approximately $6 million in annual interest savings based on today's interest rates."
