The notes were issued on September 22, 2017 at a public offering price of 99.809 percent, and bear interest at 4.40 percent. The interest rate is subject to adjustment should the notes S&P rating fall below BBB-. The first interest payment for the notes will be March 22, 2018. The notes mature on September 22, 2024.

The borrowing margin is subject to adjustment based on Magellan's debt rating as provided by certain rating agencies. Magellan has no immediate plans to draw against the revolver.
