Item 7.01. Regulation FD

On September 3, 2009, the Company reported that, since June 30, 2009, it repurchased (or agreed to repurchase) approximately $255.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding senior notes ($47.7 million of 8⁵/8% Senior Notes due 2011, $13.5 million of 6¹/2% Senior Notes due 2013, $105.8 million of 6⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2015, $69.8 million of 8¹/8% Senior Notes due 2016 and $18.5 million of Convertible Senior Notes due 2024) for an aggregate purchase price of $177.7 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. These repurchases are expected to result in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $73.2 million, net of the write-off of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs related to these notes.
