  • Repay portions of the term loans under its existing senior credit facility.
  • In connection with these transactions, Allied Waste intends to issue approximately 11.6 million shares of its common stock and 2.0 million mandatory convertible preferred shares at a purchase price of $250.00 per share. In each offering, the underwriters will have a 15% over-allotment option.
