("NBTY"), announced today that it has completed its registered exchange offer to exchange up to $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Exchange Notes") for an equal principal amount of its outstanding 9% Senior Notes due 2018, which NBTY issued in a private placement (the "Private Notes").
$650,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Private Notes were exchanged in the exchange offer and were accepted by NBTY, representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Private Notes outstanding. The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 26, 2011.
