USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless stated otherwise in an accompanying prospectus supplement or a free writing prospectus, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of debt securities described in this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to:
•
refunding, repurchasing, retiring upon maturity or redeeming existing debt;
•
working capital;
•
capital expenditures;
•
acquisitions of or investments in businesses or assets, including acquisitions of inventory; and
•
purchases of our common stock.
When a particular series of debt securities is offered, the accompanying prospectus supplement will set forth our intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of those debt securities. Pending application for specific purposes, we may temporarily invest the net proceeds in short-term marketable securities.
