million, under its previously announced offer to purchase up to

amount of cash to shareholders.  The bond offering was substantially
oversubscribed which demonstrates the confidence our investors have in
the Company's fundamental operating performance and ability to pay
down debt.  Our new capital structure provides both a reduced after-

values.  We are confident that this new structure will allow us to
continue to service our debt while maintaining financial flexibility
to make capital investments aimed at future growth."
