We account for financial assets using a framework that establishes a hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of the inputs, or assumptions, we use in the determination of fair value, and we classify financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1 ~~Measurements~~ - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

•Level 2 ~~Measurements~~ - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data; and

•Level 3 ~~Measurements~~ - unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The following table presents the assets ~~and liabilities~~ that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016:~~2018:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~August 2017,~~June 2016, the FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update~~ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the use of a new current expected credit loss ("~~ASU"~~CECL") ~~2017-12, "Derivatives~~model in estimating allowances for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable, straight-line receivable and ~~Hedging"~~notes receivable. Receivables from revenue transactions, or trade receivables, are recognized when the corresponding revenue is recognized under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ~~ASU improves~~CECL model requires that the ~~financial reporting of hedging relationships~~Company estimate its lifetime expected credit loss with respect to ~~better portray~~these receivables and record allowances that when deducted from the ~~economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and simplifies the application~~balance of the ~~hedge accounting guidance in current~~receivables, represent the estimated net amounts expected to be collected.

However, the Company will consider whether historical loss rates are consistent with expectations of forward-looking estimates for our trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 to clarify that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of Topic 326. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 to improve certain codifications including Topic 326 where accrued interest on receivables, recoveries, variable interest rates and ~~eliminating the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instrument disclosures.~~prepayments are addressed. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2018,~~2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance~~While we are still evaluating the impact of this ~~ASU.

The following standard was adopted by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

In January 2017, the FASB issued ~~ASU~~Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other". The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This ASU is effective for an annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ~~We are currently evaluating~~The Company early adopted this ASU during the ~~impact~~third quarter of ~~adopting~~2019. The adoption of this ASU ~~2017-04~~did not have a material impact on our ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes". This ASU improves the accounting for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-16 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows". This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, ~~"Leases". This ASU~~"Leases (Topic 842)" which replaces the guidance on accounting for leases in Topic 840. The new guidance increases transparency and comparability among organizations by ~~recognizing lease~~requiring lessees to recognize assets and ~~lease~~ liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and ~~disclosing~~disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ~~This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early~~

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach, which involves applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of the initial application with any cumulative impact of the adoption isrecorded to retained earnings. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted ~~for all entities.~~under the transition guidance which allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification.

Recognized currently unrecognized right-of-use assets of $57.3 million net of deferred rent and lease incentives which were previously included in other liabilities.

Recognized currently unrecognized lease liabilities of $64.5 million (based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing operating leases).

Recognized an adjustment to retained earnings of $458 thousand related to release of deferred tax assets.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This ASU provide guidance concerning certain matters involving the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance does not alter the basic framework for classifying debt instruments held as financial assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted, with some exceptions. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" which was further amended through various updates issued by the FASB thereafter. The amendments of Topic 606 clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and provide a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP to improve financial reporting. The core principle of these standards are that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also amends the current guidance for the recognition of costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers requiring that all incremental costs of obtaining and direct costs of fulfilling contracts with customers such as commissions be deferred and recognized over the expected customer life. In August 2015, an ASU was issued by the FASB which deferred the effective date to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and anticipate using the modified retrospective transition method under which the standard will be applied only to the most current period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard will be recognized at the date of initial application.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard with respect to the terms of our revenue arrangements and will finalize our expected impact of the pronouncement along with implementation of changes to our internal controls and disclosures as necessary to support the new accounting during the fourth quarter of 2017. We expect the timing of recognition of our sales commissions will also be impacted as a substantial portion of these costs which are currently expensed will be capitalized under the revised standard and amortized over the period of benefit.

~~The following standards were adopted by~~addition, the Company ~~during~~recognizes service revenues from its customers through subscription services provided or through usage or pay-per-use type arrangements. During the ~~current year:~~

~~In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows". This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents,~~three and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, and any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and applied the retrospective transition method for each period presented. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016, $791~~2019, the Company recognized $146,127 and $11 were reclassified from investing activity and effect of exchange rate changes on cash, respectively, and $51, $2,587 and $1,836 were adjusted to acquisition of business, net of cash acquired, and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, beginning of the period and end of the period balances, respectively.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting". This ASU is issued as part of its Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in this ASU involve several aspects of the accounting for share- based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, recognition of share-based expense, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. We elected to account for forfeitures when they occur versus our prior practice of estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest. The election of this new ASU resulted in a one-time adjustment in 2017 to accumulated deficit and to additional paid-in-capital of $5,668 and the corresponding benefit to our accumulated deficit and deferred tax asset of $2,285$467,893 related to subscription services, $87,677 and $242,192 related to usage, and $68,730 and $169,574 related to other revenues such as USF, other regulatory fees, and credits. During the ~~reversal of forfeiture rate as of December 31, 2016. In addition, a benefit to our accumulated deficit~~three and deferred tax asset of $6,624 was recorded for excess tax benefits on equity compensation as of December 31, 2016. We also classified cash paid by us when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes as a financing activity. As a result, $4,359 was reclassified from operating activity to financing activity for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016.~~2018, the Company recognized $149,091 and $452,257 related to subscription services, $63,857 and $175,764 related to usage, and $48,583 and $146,958 related to other revenues such as USF, other regulatory fees, and credits.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

(1) Amounts included in accounts receivables on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(2) Amounts included in deferred revenues and other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Our deferred revenue represents the advance consideration received from customers for subscription services and is predominantly recognized over the following performance period which is generally a month as transfer of control occurs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $111,739 and $344,935, respectively, related to its contract liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $105,494 and $332,480, respectively, related to its contract liabilities. We expect to recognize $61,105 into revenue over the next twelve months related to our deferred revenue as of September 30, 2019.

~~In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". This ASU applies~~Contract Acquisition Costs

We have various commission programs for internal sales personnel and channel partners that are incremental to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is applied prospectively. We adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of 2017 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

~~Note 3. Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements~~

In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and our remediation efforts related to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our controls over the preparation of the annual tax provision, we identified an error as of December 31, 2016 in our recognition of a deferred tax asset related to contingent consideration with vesting requirements paid in connection with the acquisition of Nexmo. Based in part upon the vesting requirements of contingent consideration, we recorded the consideration as compensation expense in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. However, for tax purposes the contingent consideration should have beencustomer contracts. These costs are recorded as ~~merger consideration and not deductible compensation. The correction of this error requires the reversal of the~~ deferred ~~tax asset~~contract acquisition costs on the consolidated balance sheets which eligible employees and ~~related tax benefits~~third parties may earn commission on sales of ~~$4,756~~services and products to customers. We expect that these commission fees are recoverable and, therefore, we have capitalized $63,201 and $49,636 as contract costs, net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, ~~2016. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality,~~2018, respectively, included within deferred customer acquisitions costs, current portion and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, we evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material todeferred customer acquisition costs on our results of operations or financial position for any prior annual or interim period, but that correcting the $4,756 cumulative impact of the error would be material to our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Accordingly, we have corrected thecondensed consolidated balance ~~sheets as of December 31, 2016~~sheet. Capitalized commission fees are amortized to sales and ~~will correct this error in all prior periods presented by revising the appropriate condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of NewVoiceMedia

On October 31, ~~2016~~2018, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NewVoiceMedia Limited (“NewVoiceMedia”), a cloud Contact Center-as-a-Service (CCaaS) provider, for a purchase price of $350,179 paid in cash.

The acquisition was recorded as a business combination under ASC 805, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed provisionally recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired inclusive of deferred tax liabilities is still in process. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified up to one year from the date of the acquisition as ~~follows:~~

more information is obtained about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects its analysis to be completed by the close of the fourth quarter. Under the terms of the offer, NewVoiceMedia shareholders received cash in the amount of approximately $341 million as well as transactions costs incurred by NewVoiceMedia which were paid by the Company of approximately $9 million on the date of the acquisition.

~~2016 Financing~~

On June 3, 2016, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2016 Credit Facility”) consisting of a $125.0 million term note and a $325.0 million revolving credit facility. The co-borrowers under the 2016 Credit Facility are the Company and Vonage America Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Obligations under the 2016 Credit Facility are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, by the Company’s other United States material subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and each guarantor.

We used $197.8 million of the net available proceeds of the 2016 Credit Facility to retire all of the debt under our prior credit facility.

~~Common Stock Repurchases~~

On December 9, 2014, Vonage's Board of Directors authorized a program for the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock (the "2014 $100.0 million repurchase program"). Repurchases under the 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program are expected to be made over a four-year period ending on December 31, 2018.

As the Company expects to settle the principal amount of its outstanding convertible senior notes in cash and any excess in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share of common stock when the average market price of the Company’s common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $16.72 per share. The Company's convertible senior notes are further described in Note 7, Long-Term Debt.

Typically, the Company has calculated its provision for income taxes during its interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year "ordinary" income or loss for the respective reporting period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has computed its provision for income taxes under the discrete method which allows the Company to calculate its tax provision based upon the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date. The discrete method was determined to be appropriate method for estimating its tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as it provides a reliable estimate as opposed to changes in estimated "ordinary" income or loss which would have resulted in significant fluctuations when estimating the annual effective tax rate.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate primarily due to a discrete period tax benefit of $544 and $6,697, respectively, which were recognized related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation. In addition, the Company’s actual effective tax rate for the current year has reduced the expected annual benefit as a result of permanent adjustments related to limitations on executive compensation deductibility and inclusion of income in the U.S. due to foreign disregarded entities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized income tax equal to pre-tax income multiplied by our annual effective income tax rate. In addition, adjustments were recorded for discrete period items and changes to our state effective tax rate which can cause the rate to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due to a permanent adjustment of $5,312 related to the new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") tax rules that were enacted as part of tax reform enacted in December 2017. In addition, the Company recorded a discrete period tax benefit of $1,912 and $19,228 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which was recognized related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company had uncertain tax benefits of $1,203 and $1,107 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company incurred interest expense or penalties of $149 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and the Company did 0t incur any interest expense penalties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The following table reconciles the total amounts of uncertain tax benefits:

Convertible Senior Notes

In June 2019, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2024 in a private placement and an additional $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment option of the initial purchasers (collectively, "Convertible Senior Notes"). The Convertible Senior Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2019. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. We may not redeem the notes prior to June 5, 2022. On or after June 5, 2022, we may redeem for cash all or a portion of the notes if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately preceding the date the Company provides such notice. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchase discounts and expenses payable by the Company, were $334.8 million.

Each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes is initially convertible into 59.8256 shares of the Company's common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.72 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change or a redemption period, each as defined in the indenture setting forth the terms of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or during the relevant redemption period.

The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to (i) pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below, (ii) to repurchase approximately $10 million in shares of its common stock from purchasers of the Convertible Senior Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers or an affiliate thereof concurrently with the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes described below and (iii) to repay the outstanding principal balance under its credit facility.

Prior to December 1, 2023, the notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. We will satisfy any conversion election by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The Convertible Senior Notes and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under any U.S. state securities laws or other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Senior Notes to convert were not met.

In accounting for the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company separated the Convertible Senior Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Convertible Senior Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of 6.4% over the contractual terms of the Convertible Senior Notes.

In accounting for the transaction costs related to the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components of the Convertible Senior Notes based on the proportion of the proceeds allocated to the debt and equity components. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component were $7,973 were recorded as additional debt discount and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual terms of the Convertible Senior Notes. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

The net carrying amount of the liability component of the Convertible Senior Notes was as follows:



	September 30, 2019
Principal	$	345,000
Unamortized discount	(64,229		)
Unamortized issuance cost	(7,506		)
Net carrying amount	$	273,265

The net carrying amount of the equity component of the Convertible Senior Notes was as follows:

Proceeds allocated to the conversion option (debt discount)	$	67,664
Issuance cost	(1,944		)

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes and subsequently in connection with the exercise of the initial purchaser's option to purchase additional notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the "Capped Calls"). The Capped Calls each have a strike price of $16.72 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $23.46 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company's common stock upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The initial cap price of the Capped Call transactions was $23.46. The net cost of $28,325 incurred to purchase the Capped Calls and related income tax benefit of $6,772 was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and are not accounted for as derivatives.

Concurrently with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company’s board of directors approved the repurchase of an aggregate of 852,515, or $10,000, of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock in privately negotiated transactions at a price of $11.73 per share, which was equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on June 11, 2019, the date of the pricing of the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes. The share repurchase was recorded to treasury stock on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

2018 Term Note and Revolving Credit Facility

On July 31, 2018, the Company replaced its 2016 Credit Facility previously consisting of a $125 million term loan and a $325 million revolving credit facility with the 2018 Credit Facility consisting of a $100 million senior secured term loan and a $500 million revolving credit facility. The co-borrowers under the 2018 Credit Facility are the Company and Vonage America Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, by the Company’s other United States subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and each guarantor.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company used $232,000 of the proceeds available under our 2018 Credit Facility plus cash on hand to retire all of the debt outstanding under our 2016 Credit Facility and to cover transaction fees and expenses. Total transaction fees and expense incurred were $3,376, of which $474 was allocated to the term note and $2,813 was allocated to the revolving credit facility which will be amortized over the term of 2018 Credit Facility. The remaining $89 of transaction fees and expenses were expensed during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14 which primarily consisted of the write off of previously deferred financing costs partially offset by the realization of a portion of gains associated with the interest rate swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2018. Remaining proceeds available from the undrawn revolving credit facility under our 2018 Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and to fund potential additional acquisitions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repaid $323.5 million under the revolving credit facility, $95 million under the 2018 term note, and borrowed $134 million under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the effective interest rate was 4.81% as of September 30, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we made mandatory repayments of $2.5 million under the 2018 term note and made discretionary repayments of $18 million under the 2018 revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants, including financial covenants, for the 2018 Credit Facility.

2016 Financing

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we made mandatory repayments of $9.4 million under the term note and made discretionary repayments of $35.0 million under the revolving credit facility and borrowed $40.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

Interest Rate Swaps

On July 14, 2017, we executed on 3 interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments related to the 2016 Credit Facility. The swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $150 million and were effective from July 31, 2017 through June 3, 2020 concurrent with the term of the 2016 Credit Facility. Under the swaps our interest rate is fixed at 4.7%. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair market value of the swaps was $106 and $1,859, respectively, which is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

~~IP Matters~~

~~RPost Holdings, Inc.~~On August 24, 2012, RPost Holdings, Inc., RPost Communications Limited, and RMail Limited (collectively, “RPost”) filed a lawsuit against StrongMail Systems, Inc. (“StrongMail”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that StrongMail’s products and services, including its electronic mail marketing services, are covered by United States Patent Nos. 8,224,913, 8,209,389, 8,161,104, 7,966,372, and 6,182,219. On February 11, 2013, RPost filed an amended complaint, adding 27 new defendants, including Vonage America Inc. RPost’s amended complaint alleges willful infringement of the RPost patents by Vonage and each of the other new defendants because they are customers of StrongMail. StrongMail has agreed to fully defend and indemnify Vonage in this lawsuit. Vonage answered the complaint on May 7, 2013. On September 17, 2015, the Court ordered the consolidation for pre-trial purposes of this case with other cases by RPost. The lead case has been administratively closed and stayed since January 30, 2014 due to multiple pending actions by third parties regarding ownership of the patents at issue. On September 1, 2017, the parties in the consolidated actions filed a joint notice regarding status of the co-pending actions. Plaintiffs requested that the stay be lifted, while defendants maintain that the stay should remain in place.

~~AIP Acquisition LLC~~. On January 3, 2014, AIP Acquisition LLC (“AIP”), filed a lawsuit against Vonage Holdings Corp., Vonage America, Inc., and Vonage Marketing LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Vonage’s products and services are covered by United States Patent No. 7,269,247. Vonage filed an answer and counterclaims on February 25, 2014. AIP filed an amended complaint on March 18, 2014, which Vonage answered on April 4, 2014. On April 8, 2014, the Court stayed the case pending final resolution of non-party Level 3’s inter partes review request of United States Patent No. 7,724,879, which is a continuation of the ‘247 patent. On October 8, 2014, the Patent Office issued a Final Written Decision, finding all challenged claims of the ‘879 patent to be invalid. On November 10, 2015, the Federal Circuit rejected AIP’s appeal and affirmed the Patent Office’s rejection of the ‘879 patent.

Cisco petitioned for inter partes review of the ‘247 patent on November 25, 2014, which was granted on May 20, 2015. On May 18, 2016, the Patent Office issued a Final Written Decision, finding all challenged claims of the ‘247 patent to be invalid. AIP appealed to the Federal Circuit, filing its opening brief on December 15, 2016. On December 20, 2016, the Patent Office filed a notice of intervention in the appellate proceedings. Briefing on the appeal is complete, and oral argument was held on October 3, 2017.

~~Commercial Litigation~~

~~Merkin & Smith, et al~~. On September 27, 2013, Arthur Merkin and James Smith filed a putative class action lawsuit against Vonage America, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging that Vonage violated California’s Unfair Competition Law by charging its customers fictitious 911 taxes and fees. On October 30, 2013, Vonage filed a notice removing the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On November 26, 2013, Vonage filed its Answer to the Complaint. On December 4, 2013, Vonage filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration, which the Court denied on February 4, 2014. On March 5, 2014, Vonage appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On March 26, 2014, the district court proceedings were stayed pending the appeal. On February 29, 2016, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s ruling and remanded with instructions to grant the motion to compel arbitration. On March 22, 2016, Merkin and Smith filed a petition for rehearing. On May 4, 2016, the Ninth Circuit withdrew its February 29, 2016 decision and issued a new order reversing the district court’s order and remanded with instructions to compel arbitration. The Ninth Circuit also declared as moot the petition for rehearing. On June 27, 2016, the lower court stayed the case pending arbitration. A joint status report was filed with the District Court on December 23, 2016. A second joint status report was filed with the District Court on March 23, 2017. A third joint status report was filed with the District Court on June 27, 2017. A fourth joint status report was filed with the District Court on September 26, 2017.

Regulation

Telephony services are subject to a broad spectrum of state, federal and ~~federal~~foreign regulations. Because of the uncertainty over whether Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) should be treated as a telecommunications or information service, we have been involved in a substantial amount of state and federal regulatory activity. Implementation and interpretation of the existing laws and regulations is ongoing and is subject to litigation by various federal and state agencies and courts. Due to the uncertainty over the regulatory classification of VoIP service, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to new regulations or existing regulations under new interpretations, and that such change would not introduce material additional costs to our business.

~~Federal - Net Neutrality~~

~~Clear and enforceable~~ The Company continues to monitor federal regulations relating to net neutrality, rules make it more difficult for broadband Internet service providers to block or discriminate against Vonage service. In addition, explicitly applying net neutrality rules to wireless broadband Internet service providers could create greater opportunities for VoIP applications that run on wireless broadband Internet service. In December 2010, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") adopted net neutrality rules that applied strong net neutrality rules to wired broadband Internet service providers and limited rules to wireless broadband Internet service providers. On January 14, 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a significant portion of the 2010 rules. On May 15, 2014, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing new net neutrality rules. After public response to the NPRM, the FCC adopted new neutrality rules on February 26, 2015. These rules prohibit broadband Internet service providers from: (1) blocking or throttling lawful content applications, or services; (2) imposing paid prioritization arrangements; and (3) unreasonably interfering or unreasonably disadvantaging consumers or edge providers. In addition, broadband Internet service providers are required to make certain disclosures regarding their network management practices, network performance, and commercial terms. These net neutrality rules apply the same requirements to wired and wireless broadband Internet service providers. Several parties filed appeals which are pending at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals were held on December 4, 2015. On June 14, 2016, the D.C. Circuit of Appeals denied the appeals. Several parties filed a petition for rehearing en banc on July 29, 2016, which was denied on May 1, 2017. On July 2, 2017 Chief Justice John Roberts extended the time within which interested parties could file a petition for a writ of certiorari until September 28, 2017. Multiple interested parties and intervenors filed petitions. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the petitions.

~~Federal - Rural Call Completion Issues~~

~~On February 7, 2013, the FCC released a NPRM on~~ rural call completion issues. The NPRM proposed new detailed reporting requirements to gauge rural call completion performance. Rural carriers have argued that VoIP provider call completion performance to rural areas is generally poor. On October 28, 2013, the FCC adopted an order on rural call completion imposing new reporting obligations and restricting certain call signaling practices. The call signaling rules went into effect on January 31, 2014. We filed for extensions of the rules, which the FCC granted, and as of April 17, 2014, we were compliant with the FCC call signaling rules. The effective date for the reporting requirements was April 1, 2015. We could be subject to an FCC enforcement action in the future in the event the FCC took the position that our rural call completion performance is inadequate or we were not compliant with the FCC’s order. On June 22, 2017, the FCC issued a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The FCC has proposed changes to the FCC's rules that allegedly would more effectively address rural call completion problems while reducing burdens on covered providers. Vonage is reviewing and evaluating the FCC's proposed changes.

~~Federal - NPRM - Number Slamming~~

~~On July 13, 2017, the FCC adopted a NPRM regarding ways to protect consumers from~~issues, number slamming, 911 access, access to telecommunication equipment and ~~cramming without impeding competition or impairing the ability~~services by persons with disabilities, caller ID services, number portability, unwanted calls to reassigned numbers, and robocalling. As we continue to expand globally, these types of ~~consumers~~regulations are likely to ~~switch providers. Vonage is monitoring this NPRM.~~

~~Federal - NPRM Toll Free Assignment Modernization~~

On September 26, 2017 the FCC issued a NPRM regarding the modernization of toll free number assignment. The FCC proposes amending its rules to allow for the use of an auction to assign certain toll free numbers - such as vanitybe similarly enacted and ~~repeater numbers - in order to better promote the equitable and efficient use of numbers (especially as afforded~~enforced by the ~~opening of the 833 toll free code). Vonage will continue to monitor activity with respect to this NPRM.~~

~~Federal - NOI - Enterprise Communications Systems Access to 911~~

On September 26, 2017, the FCC adopted a Notice of Inquiry ("NOI") with respect to 911 access, routing and location in Enterprise Communication Systems. Vonage will monitor activity related to this NOI.

~~Federal - Access to Telecommunication Equipment and Services by Persons with Disabilities~~

At its open meeting scheduled for October 24, 2017, the FCC applied its wireline hearing aid compatibility rules/standards to handsets that provide advanced communication services, which includes interconnected and non-interconnected Voice over IP. The rules include certain coupling and volume control requirements that would allow the handsets to work better for persons with hearing aids. There are also testing and certification requirements, which typically apply to the handset manufacturer. The FCC also adopted a requirement for volume control in wireless handsets. The new rules have a two-year phase in for new phones and do not require the modification to existing handsets.

~~Federal - Rules and Policies Regarding Caller ID Services~~

At its open meeting on October 24, 2017, the FCC issued a report and order regarding amendments to the Commission’s rules to exempt threatening calls from current Caller ID blocking roles so that, among other changes, law enforcement and security personnel have timely access to information they need to aid their investigations. The order exempts threatening calls from the CPN privacy rules.

~~Federal - Part 43 Report and Order~~

At its open meeting scheduled for October 24, 2017, the FCC issued a report and order based on a March 23, 2017 NPRM to eliminate the filing of annual traffic and revenue reports and streamline circuit capacity reports.

~~Federal - Number Portability NPRM and NOI~~

At its open meeting scheduled for October 24, 2017, the FCC released a NPRM that would allow carriers flexibility in conducting number portability database queries to promote nationwide number portability and eliminate the dialing party requirement as it applies to interexchange service. The NOI seeks comments on industry number portability models and how number administration might be improved for more efficient technical, operational, administrative and legal processes. Vonage is monitoring this NPRM and NOI.

~~State Telecommunications Regulation~~

In general, the focus of interconnected VoIP telecommunications regulation is at the federal level. On November 12, 2004, the FCC issued a declaratory ruling providing that our service is subject to federal regulation and preempted the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (“MPUC”) from imposing certain of its regulations on us. The FCC's decision was based on its conclusion that our service is interstate in nature and cannot be separated into interstate and intrastate components. On March 21, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit affirmed the FCC's declaratory ruling preempting state regulation of our service.

While this ruling does not exempt us from all state oversight of our service, it effectively prevents state telecommunications regulators from imposing certain burdensome and inconsistent market entry requirements and certain other state utility rules and regulations on our service. State regulators continue to probe the limits of federal preemption in their attempts to apply state telecommunications regulation to interconnected VoIP service. On July 16, 2009, the Nebraska Public Service Commission and the Kansas Corporation Commission filed a petition with the FCC seeking a declaratory ruling or, alternatively, adoption of a rule declaring that state authorities may apply universal service funding requirements to nomadic VoIP providers. We participated in the FCC proceedings on the petition. On November 5, 2010, the FCC issued a declaratory ruling that allowed states to assess state USF on nomadic VoIP providers on a going forward basis provided that the states comply with certain conditions to ensure that imposing state USF does not conflict with federal law or policy.

Minnesota - More recently on July 28, 2015, the MPUC found that it has authority to regulate Charter’s fixed, interconnected VoIP service. Charter challenged the MPUC’s order at the U.S. District Court for Minnesota. This challenge is currently pending. In September 2017 amicus briefs were filed in support of the Minnesota PUC's appeal of the Charter decision by AARP, the AARP Foundation, Professor Barbara Cherry, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the national Association of State Consumer Advocates and the Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid.

Arizona - on August 14, 2017, the Arizona Corporation Commission issued an opinion and order with respect to amendments to the Arizona Universal Services Fund. The rulemaking allows for, among other things, the collection of additional USF surcharges in Arizona to fund the E-rate Broadband Special Construction Project Matching Fund Program. The Commission held hearing on September 12 and 13, 2017. Vonage will continue to monitor this rulemaking to determine its effect upon its business activities within Arizona.

~~We expect that state public utility commissions and state legislators will continue their attempts to apply state telecommunications regulations to nomadic VoIP service.~~

State and Municipal Taxes

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we make a provision for a liability for taxes when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability or range of liability can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. ~~For a period of~~From time to time, we did not collect or remit state or municipal taxes (such as sales, excise, utility, use, and ad valorem taxes), fees or surcharges (“Taxes”) on the charges to our customers for our services, except that we historically complied with the New Jersey sales tax. We have received inquiries ~~or demands~~ from a number of ~~state~~states and ~~municipal~~local taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of sales, use, telecommunications, and ~~911 agencies seeking payment~~excise taxes. Several jurisdictions are currently conducting tax audits of ~~Taxes~~the Company's records.

Although we have consistently maintained that these Taxes do not apply to our service for a variety of reasons depending on the statute or rule that establishes such obligations, we are now collecting and remitting sales taxes in certain of those states including a number of states that have changed their statutes to expressly include VoIP. In addition, many states address how VoIP providers should contribute to support public safety agencies, andbe remitted, it has reviewed its positions in those ~~states we remit~~various jurisdictions as well as other regulatory fees ~~to the~~and has established appropriate ~~state agencies.

~~Note 8. Acquisitions and Dispositions~~

~~Sale of Hosted Infrastructure Product Line~~

On May 31, 2017, we completed the sale of our Hosted Infrastructure product line for up to $4.0 million consideration comprised of $1.0 million received upon closing an additional $0.5 million of contingent consideration received during the third quarter and the potential for up to $2.5 million further consideration based on the achievement of financial objectives for net sales during the 18 months following closing. The results of our Hosted Infrastructure product line have been included within our business segment. As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $1,377 within other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This disposal did not represent a strategic shift in operations and, therefore, did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

~~Acquisition of Nexmo~~

Nexmo is a global leader in the Communications-Platform-as-a-Service (“CPaaS”) segment of the cloud communications market. Nexmo provides innovative communication application program interfaces (“APIs”) for text messaging and voice communications, allowing developers and enterprises to embed contextual communications into mobile apps, websites and business workflows via text, social media, chat apps and voice.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 5, 2016 and further amended on June 2, 2016, by and among the Company, Neptune Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Vonage (“Merger Sub”), Nexmo, a Delaware corporation, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as representative of the security holders of Nexmo, on June 3, 2016, Merger Sub, on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, merged with and into Nexmo, and Nexmo became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Vonage.

Under the agreement, Nexmo shareholders received consideration of $231,122, with an additional earn-out opportunity (the "contingent consideration") of up to $20,000 contingent upon Nexmo achieving certain performance targets. Of the consideration, $194,684 (net of cash acquired of $16,094) was paid at close, consisting of $163,093 of cash (net of $16,094 of cash acquired) and 6,823 in shares of Vonage common stock valued at $31,591. The remaining $36,438 of the $231,122 purchase price is in the form of restricted cash, restricted stock and options held by Nexmo management and employees (the "Employee Payout Amount"), subject to vesting requirements over time and to be amortized to compensation expense quarterly until vested. We financed the transaction with $179,000 from our 2016 Credit Facility.

~~The consideration was allocated to acquisition cost as follows:~~

Cash paid at closing (inclusive of cash acquired of $16,094) $ 179,186
Stock paid at closing 31,591
Contingent consideration (described below) 16,472
Employee Payout Amount (described below) 4,779
Acquisition Cost $ 232,028

In addition, Nexmo shareholders were eligible to earn a Variable Payout Amount of up to $20,000, subject to the achievement of certain performance targets during the 12 month period following the closing of the transaction. We estimated using probability weighting that the value of the contingent consideration was $17,840 at the acquisition date and included that amount in acquisition cost at the net present value amount of $16,472. As of December 31, 2016, Nexmo did not achieve the performance targets necessary to earn the Variable Payout Amount but the parties agreed to a $5,000 settlement that the parties were paid in the first quarter of 2017.

In addition, Nexmo management and employees were eligible to earn an Employee Payout Amount of $36,438 attributable to restricted cash, restricted stock and assumed options, of which $4,779 is included in acquisition cost as service had been provided pre-acquisition and $31,659 will be recorded as post-acquisition expense assuming all amounts vest, of which $31,087 is being recognized as compensation expense and $572 related to interest expense as continued employment is a condition of receiving consideration. Pursuant to the merger agreement, $20,372 of the cash consideration and $5,081 of the stock consideration were placed in escrow for unknown liabilities that may have existed as of the acquisition date.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $28 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred approximately $257 and $5,316, respectively, in acquisition related transaction costs, which were recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the full year 2016, we incurred approximately $5.5 million in acquisition related transaction costs.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under which assets and liabilities of Nexmo were recorded at their respective fair values including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. We do not expect any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment. The factors that contributed to goodwill include synergies that are specific to our consolidated business, the acquisition of a talented workforce that provides us with expertise in the small and medium business markets, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.

The acquisition price was allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets assumed were based on management’s current estimates and assumptions. The accounting for the Nexmo acquisition was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2017, at which point the fair values became final. The table below summarizes the provisional amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2016 as well as adjustments made through the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when the allocation became final. Measurement period adjustments primarily reflect the tax impact of the acquisition date fair values.

~~Effective Tax Rate~~

~~The income tax provision consisted of the following:~~

Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
2017 2016 2017 2016
Income before income taxes $ 21,270
$ 10,579

Income tax expense (10,668 ) (3,539 ) (4,624 ) (14,102 )
Effective tax rate 50.2 % 33.5 % 17.8 % 48.1 %

We recognize income tax expense equal to pre-tax income multiplied by our effective income tax rate. In addition, adjustments are recorded for discrete period items and changes to our state effective tax rate which can cause the rate to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, our effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due to discrete period tax benefits of $9,539 and $1,433 which were recognized related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation recognized primarily in the first quarter of 2017 as well as an adjustment to our deferred asset related to stock compensation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due to a discrete period tax expense of $1,220 recorded due to expired stock options recognized in the first quarter of 2016 which was partially offset by $389 which was recorded during the second quarter of 2016 and $661 which was recorded in the third quarter of 2016. The provision also includes the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local income taxes.

~~We do not have any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.~~

~~Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards ("NOLs")~~

As of December 31, 2016, we had cumulative domestic Federal NOLs of $575,476 and cumulative state NOLs of $158,848, expiring at various times from years ending 2017 through 2036. In addition, we had NOLs for United Kingdom tax purposes of $43,006 with no expiration date. In connection with the completion of our accounting of the acquisition of Nexmo, we adjusted our cumulative domestic Federal NOLs to $585,622 as of September 30, 2017 and did not impact our cumulative state NOLs or the United Kingdom.

On June 8, 2017, at the Vonage 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders ratified the extension of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan ("Preservation Plan") through June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 8, ~~Common Stock~~ ~~to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a complete description of the Preservation Plan.~~

In August 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of TokBox which added video functionality to the CPaaS suite of services available to its customers. In combination, our products and services permit our business customers to communicate with their customers and employees through any cloud-connected device, in any place, at any time without the often costly investment required with on-site equipment. We have a robust set of product families tailored to serve the full range of the business value chain, from the ~~small and medium business, or~~ SMB market, through mid-market and enterprise markets. We provide customers with multiple deployment options, designed to provide the reliability and quality of service they demand.

When combined with our proprietary call processing platform that is purpose-built for SMB and mid-market customers; and Vonage Premier, based on Broadsoft’s call processing platform in combination with other Vonage cloud based solutions, which serves larger customers, from mid-market businesses through large enterprises. We also organized our salesforce to address the full business market. We believe operating two platforms at scale enables us to deliver the right products and solutions to address the needs of diverse customers while maximizing our subscriber economics, regardless of segment served. Revenues are generated primarily through the sale of subscriptions for our UCaaS services. Our revenue generation efforts are focused on customer acquisition and retentionMPLS network, as well as ~~providing additional~~voice services over customers' broadband networks via our SmartWan solution, we create a differentiated offering.

Our Consumer strategy is focused on the continued penetration of our core North American markets, where we will continue to provide value in ~~domestic and~~ international long distance and target under-served segments.

We generate revenue through the acquisition and retention of Consumer customers. We are focused on optimizing the Consumer business for profitability to improve the strong cash flows of the business. During 2017, we continued our disciplined focus on marketing efficiency by shifting customer acquisition spend to our higher performing channels, improving the quality of customers we acquire and driving lower churn, all of which drive higher customer life-time value. This focus has led to a reallocation of marketing spend to our Business segment.

~~The result of these initiatives has been to create a strong cash flow business which provides financial stability, as well as cost synergies and structural advantages to our Business segment.~~

Services ~~outside~~Outside of the United ~~States.~~ States

We currently have ~~UCaaS and consumer~~ operations delivering our suite of communication solutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Canada and believe that our ~~low-cost Internet based communications platform~~platforms enables us to cost effectively deliver voice and messaging services to other locations throughout ~~the world. Through Nexmo, we have operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and provide CPaaS solutions to our customers located in many countries around the world.~~

We had approximately 2.3 million combined consumer subscriber lines and business seats as of September 30, 2017. Customers in the United States represented 84% of our consolidated revenues at September 30, 2017, with the balance in Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Nexmo has operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and provides CPaaS solutions to our customers located in many countries around the world.

Trends in Our Industry

A number of trends in our industry have a significant effect on our results of operations and are important to an understanding of our financial statements.

Competitive landscape. We face intense competition from traditional telephone companies, wireless companies, cable companies, and alternative communication providers. Most traditional wireline and wireless telephone service providers and cable companies are substantially larger and better capitalized than we are and have the advantage of a large existing customer base. In addition, because our competitors provide other services, they often choose to offer VoIP services or other voice services as part of a bundle that includes other products, such as video, high speed Internet access, and wireless telephone service, which we do not offer. In addition, such competitors may in the future require new customers or existing customers making changes to their service to purchase voice services when purchasing high speed Internet access. Further, as wireless providers offer more minutes at lower prices, better coverage, and companion landline alternative services, their services have become more attractive to households as a replacement for wireline service. We also compete against alternative communication ~~providers, such as Twilio, Ooma, magicJack, Skype, WhatsApp, and Google Voice.~~providers. Some of these service providers have chosen to sacrifice telephony revenue in order to gain market share and have offered their services at low prices or for free. As we continue to introduce applications that integrate different forms of voice and messaging services over multiple devices, we are facing competition from emerging competitors focused on similar integration, as well as from alternative voice communication providers. ~~In addition, our competitors have partnered and may in the future partner with other competitors to offer products and services, leveraging their collective competitive positions.~~ We also are subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. In connection with our emphasis on the international long distance market in the United States, we face competition from low-cost international calling cards and VoIP providers in addition to traditional telephone companies, cable companies, and wireless companies, each of which may implement promotional pricing targeting international long distance callers.

Regulation. Our business has developed in a ~~relatively~~ lightly regulated environment. The United States and other countries, however, are examining how VoIP services should be regulated. In particular, state telecommunications regulators continue to try to regulate VoIP service despite the FCC’s 2004 Vonage Preemption Order that preempted state regulation. For example, on July 28, 2015, the Minnesota Public Utility Commission found that it has authority to regulate Charter’s ‘fixed' interconnected VoIP service. In addition to regulatory matters that directly address VoIP, a number of other regulatory initiatives could impact our business. One such regulatory initiative is net neutrality. On February 26, 2015, the FCC adopted strong net neutrality rules. Several parties filed appeals which are pending at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals were held on December 4, 2015. On June 14, 2016, the D.C. Circuit of Appeals denied the appeals. Several parties filed a petition for rehearing en banc on July 29, 2016, which was denied on May 1, 2017. See ~~also~~ the discussion under "Regulation" in Note 710 to our financial statements for a discussion of regulatory issues that impact us. On July 2, 2017, Chief Justice John Roberts extended the time within which interested parties could file a petition for a writ of certiorari until September 28, 2017. Multiple interest parties and intervenors filed petitions. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the petitions.

~~Seats. S~~eats include, as of a particular date, all paid seats from which a customer can make an outbound telephone call on that date and virtual seats. Seats exclude electronic fax lines and toll free numbers, which do not allow outbound telephone calls by customers. Seats increased from 615,728 as of September 30, 2016 to 709,736 as of September 30, 2017. This increase is due to continued growth in ourexisting business customers ~~as we have increased marketing investment to attract these more profitable customers.~~along with the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia and TokBox during the second half of 2018.

Business Revenue ~~Churn.~~ ~~Revenue~~Churn.

The simple average of total ~~monthly recurring~~ revenue from all customers during the period is the total ~~monthly recurring~~ revenue as defined herein on the first day of the period, plus the total ~~monthly recurring~~ revenue as defined herein on the last day of the period, divided by two. Terminations, as used in the calculation of churn statistics, do not include customers terminated during the period if termination occurred within the first month after activation. Other companies may calculate business revenue churn differently, and their business revenue churn data may not be directly comparable to ours. ~~Revenue~~Business revenue churn ~~was 1.4%~~decreased from 1.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 1.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and from 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016, respectively, and 1.2% and 1.3%~~2018 to 1.1% for the ~~three and~~ nine ~~months ended~~ months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, respectively.

Average monthly revenues per subscriber line for a particular period is calculated by dividing our revenues for that period by the simple average number of subscriber lines for the period, and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. The simple average number of subscriber lines for the period is the number of subscriber lines on the first day of the period, plus the number of subscriber lines on the last day of the period, divided by two. Our average monthly revenues per subscriber line ~~decreased~~increased from ~~$26.36 and $26.55~~$26.30 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $27.56 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and increased slightly from $26.41 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016, respectively~~2018 to ~~$26.29 and $26.18~~$26.91 for the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, respectively,~~2019 due primarily to ~~lower international long distance pay-per-use revenue.~~the Company's ability to retain its more tenured customers.

Our subscriber lines include fax lines, including fax lines bundled with subscriber lines in our small office home office calling plans and soft phones, but do not include our virtual phone numbers and toll free numbers, which only allow inbound telephone calls to customers. Subscriber lines decreased from ~~1,767,212~~1,341,662 as of September 30, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~1,543,760~~1,136,112 as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, reflecting planned actions to enhance the profitability of the assisted sales channel by eliminating lower performing locations and restructuring the pricing offers, and to shift investment to our business market.

Customer ~~churn.~~ Churn. Customer churn is calculated by dividing the number of customers that have terminated during a period by the simple average of number of customers in a given period. The simple average number of customers during the period is the number of customers on the first day of the period, plus the number of customers on the last day of the period, divided by two. Terminations, as used in the calculation of churn statistics, do not include customers terminated during the period if termination occurred within the first month after activation. Other companies may calculate customer churn differently, and their customer churn data may not be directly comparable to ours. Customer churn ~~decreased from 2.2% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, to 1.9% and 2.0%~~remained at 1.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018 and 2019, respectively. We monitor customer churn on a daily basis and use it as an indicator of the level of customer satisfaction. Customers who have been with us for a year or more tend to have a lower churn rate than customers who have not. In addition, our customers who are international callers generally churn at a lower rate than customers who are domestic callers. Our customer churn will fluctuate over time due to economic conditions, competitive pressures including promotional pricing targeting international long distance callers, marketplace perception of our services, and our ability to provide high quality customer care and network quality and add future innovative products and services. See the discussion below for detail regarding churn impacting our business customers.

REVENUE

Revenues consist of services revenue and customer equipment and shipping fee revenue. Substantially all of our revenues are services revenue. For Consumer customers in the United States, we offer domestic and international rate plans, including a variety of residential plans and mobile plans. For our Business customers, we offer SMB, mid-market, and enterprise customers several service plans with different pricing structures and contractual requirements ranging in duration from month-to-month to three years. In addition, we provide managed equipment to Business customers for which the customers pay a monthly fee. Customers also have the opportunity to purchase premium features for additional fees. In addition, we derive revenue from usage-based fees earned from customers using our cloud-based software products. These usage-based software products include our messaging, voice, Verify and chat APIs. Usage-based fees include number of text messages sent or received using our messaging APIs, minutes of call duration activity for our voice APIs, and number of converted authentications for our Verify API. Services revenue is offset by the cost of certain customer acquisition activities, such as rebates and promotions. In addition, in certain instances, we charge disconnect fees which are recognized as revenue at the time the disconnect fees are collected from our customer.

In the United States, we charge regulatory, compliance, E-911, and intellectual property-related recovery fees on a monthly basis to defray costs, and to cover taxes that we are charged by the suppliers of telecommunications services. In addition, we recognize revenue on a gross basis for contributions to the Federal Universal Service Fund, or USF, and related fees. All other taxes are recorded on a net basis.

Revenues are generated from sales of customer equipment directly to customers for replacement devices, or for upgrading their device at the time of customer sign-up for which we charge an additional fee. In addition, customer equipment and shipping revenues include revenues from the sale of VoIP telephones in order to access our small and medium business services. Customer equipment and shipping revenues also include the fees that customers are charged for shipping their customer equipment to them.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses consist of cost of revenues, sales and marketing expense, engineering and development expense, general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization.

Management's ~~discussion~~Discussion of the ~~results~~Results of ~~operations~~Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018

The Company reported loss before income taxes of $2,849 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and income before income taxes of $12,158 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and loss before income taxes of $22,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and income before income taxes of $37,027 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by higher other operating expenses of $20,821 and $87,439 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as a result of the acquisitions of NewVoiceMedia in October 2018, and TokBox in August 2018 driven by increases in salary costs due to higher headcount, increases in sales and marketing expenses, and increases in depreciation and amortization expenses due to additional assets acquired. In addition, there were increases in engineering and development expenses in connection with the Company's continued transformation focused on innovation.

The Company reported net loss of $21,097 and net income of $9,588 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and net loss of $17,107 and net income of $42,671 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in net (loss)/income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 is mainly due to the aforementioned decrease in (loss)/income before income taxes and the increase in income tax expense of $15.678. The decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is mainly due to the aforementioned decrease in (loss)/income before income taxes and the increase in income tax expense of $517.

Total revenues and cost of revenues were impacted by the following trends and uncertainties:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Total revenues increased 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year period.

The Company continues to expect that the Consumer portion of the Company's overall business will become less significant as the Company reallocates resources to increase market share in its Business communications platforms.

Cost of revenues increased 28% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year period driven by increased costs incurred in servicing our Business customers of $29,933 due to the increase in customers and prior year acquisitions.

Typically, the Company has calculated its provision for income taxes during its interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year "ordinary" income or loss for the respective reporting period. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the Company has computed its provision for income taxes under the discrete method which allows the Company to calculate its tax provision based upon the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date. In addition, adjustments are recorded for discrete period items and changes to our state effective tax rate which can cause the rate to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the income tax expense includes a discrete tax benefit related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation along with permanent adjustments related to executive compensation deductibility. In addition, the Company’s actual effective tax rate for the current year has reduced the expected annual benefit as a result of permanent adjustments related to limitations on executive compensation deductibility and inclusion of income in the U.S. due to foreign disregarded entities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized an additional discrete period tax ~~benefits~~benefit of ~~$9,539 and $1,433 which were recognized~~$1,912 related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation recognized ~~primarily~~during the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we ~~generated~~had lower net cash from ~~operations.~~operations compared to the prior year quarter mainly due to lower net income. We expect to continue to balance efforts to grow our revenue while consistently achieving operating profitability. To grow our revenue, we continue to make investments in growth initiatives, marketing, application development, network quality and expansion, and customer care. Although we believe we will achieve consistent profitability in the future, we ultimately may not be successful and we may not achieve consistent profitability. We believe that cash flow from operations and cash on hand will fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Sources of Liquidity

The principal sources of liquidity are derived from available borrowings under our existing financing arrangements, existing cash on hand, and cash flows from operations. As described in Note 7, Long-Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's financing arrangements consist of its Convertible Senior Notes and the 2018 Credit Facility which is comprised of a $100,000 term note and a $500,000 revolving credit facility.

Available Borrowings Under the ~~2016~~2018 Credit Facility

We maintain significant availability under our lines of credit to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, amounts available under the ~~2016~~2018 Credit Facility totaled ~~$143~~$364.5 million.

State and Local Sales Taxes

We ~~also~~ have contingent liabilities for state and local sales taxes. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we had a reserve of ~~$901.~~$4,547. If our ultimate liability exceeds this amount, it could affect our liquidity unfavorably. However, we do not believe it will significantly impair our liquidity.

Capital Expenditures

~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, capital expenditures were primarily for the implementation of software solutions and purchase of network equipment as we continue to expand our network.~~ Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2019 were ~~$25,228,~~$36,262, of which ~~$9,438~~$20,836 was for software acquisition and development. The majority of these expenditures are comprised of investments in information technology and systems infrastructure, including an electronic data warehouse, online customer service, and customer management platforms. For ~~2017,~~2019, we believe our capital and software expenditures will be approximately $35,000. This amount is net of Tenant Improvement capital dollars we are investing in our Holmdel, New Jersey headquarters which are being refunded by the building owner in connection with the long-term lease renewal we executed in the fourth quarter of 2015.$45,000 to $50,000.

~~Common Stock Repurchases~~

On December 9, 2014, Vonage's Board of Directors authorized a new program for the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. Repurchases under the new program are expected to be made over a four-year period ending on December 31, 2018.

Under the current program, the timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock and will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time. The repurchases will be made using available cash balances. In any period, under each repurchase program, cash used in financing activities related to common stock repurchases may differ from the comparable change in stockholders' equity, reflecting timing differences between the recognition of share repurchase transactions and their settlement for cash.

~~As of~~ ~~September 30, 2017, approximately $42,533 remained of our 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program. The repurchase program expires on December 31, 2018 but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.~~

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Obligations under Certain Guarantee Contracts

We enter guarantee arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate transactions with third parties. These arrangements include financial and performance guarantees, stand-by letters of credit, debt guarantees and indemnifications. As of September 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 we had stand-by letters of credit totaling ~~$1,561~~$1,526 and ~~$1,578,~~$1,516, respectively.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Except as set forth below and in Note 7. 10. Commitments and Contingencies included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, there were no significant changes in our commitments under contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018.

Contingencies

There has been and may be in the future substantial litigation in the areas in which we operate regarding alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. We ~~record~~recognize a ~~provision for a liability~~loss when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to further uncertainties. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change it is possible that the resolution of the matters described in Note 7. 10, Commitments and Contingencies included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, ~~Basis~~2, Summary of ~~Presentation and~~ Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The application of these policies involves judgment regarding future events and these judgments could materially affect the financial statements and disclosures based on varying assumptions, which may be appropriate to use.

We identify our most critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and those that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management regarding estimates. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, ~~impairment~~valuation of goodwill and ~~long lived~~intangible assets, income taxes and ~~valuation allowance~~capitalized software. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for ~~deferred taxes, share-based compensation, inventory and~~changes to our critical accounting ~~for business combinations.~~

policy with respect to recognition of leasing arrangements as a result of the adoption. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, our goodwill is attributable to our Business operating segment. We perform our annual test of goodwill on October 1st. Additionally, we will assess our goodwill for impairment between annual tests when specific circumstances dictate.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We sell our products and services primarily in the United States, Canada, ~~and~~ the European ~~Union. Changes in currency exchange rates affect the valuation in our financial statements of the assets~~Union, and ~~liabilities of these operations. We also have a~~Asia. A portion of our sales denominated in Euros, the Canadian Dollar, and the British Pound Sterling, which are ~~also~~ affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although foreign exchange risks have not been material to our financial position or results of operations to date. Volatility in the British Pound Sterling exchange rate is expected to continue in the short term as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union which has been extended through January 31, 2020. If the United Kingdom and the European Union are unable to reach an agreement and the United Kingdom exits the European Union without an agreement in place, it will likely create further short-term uncertainty and currency volatility. In the longer term, any impact from the United Kingdom exiting the European Union on the Company's operations will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations.

Interest Rate and Debt Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our long-term debt. In order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments related to ~~the 2016 Credit Facility~~our credit facilities we have entered into three interest rate swap agreements which were executed on July 14, 2017. The swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $150 million and are effective on July 31, 2017 through June 3, ~~2020 concurrent with the term of the 2016 Credit Facility.~~2020. Under the swaps our interest rate is fixed at 4.7%. The interest rate swaps will be accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, if the interest rate on our variable rate debt changed by 1% on our ~~2016 term note, our annual debt service payment would change by approximately $1 million. As of September 30, 2017, if the interest rate on our variable rate debt changed by 1% on our 2016~~2018 revolving credit facility, our annual debt service payment would change by approximately ~~$1.8 million.~~$850.

As of September 30, 2019, we had $345.0 million outstanding on our 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2024. The Notes have 1.75% percent fixed annual interest rates and, therefore, our economic interest rate exposure on our Notes is fixed. However, the values of the Notes are exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of our fixed interest rate Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In addition, the fair values of the Notes are affected by our stock price. The fair value of the Notes will generally increase as our common stock price increases and will generally decrease as our common stock price declines in value. Additionally, we carry the Notes at face value less unamortized discount on our balance sheet, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 related to our controls over the preparation of the annual tax provision.effective.

~~Material Weakness.~~ ~~As disclosed in Part II. Item 9A.~~ ~~Controls and Procedures~~ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, in connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our controls over the preparation of the annual tax provision.

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial ~~reporting, except for changes in connection with the implementation of the remediation plan described below.~~reporting.

~~Remediation Plan~~. Management has begun implementing a remediation plan to address the control deficiency that led to the material weakness. The remediation plan includes (i) the implementation of additional review procedures designed to enhance our tax provision controls and (ii) strengthening our tax provision controls with improved documentation standards, oversight, and training. In the course of this remediation, we identified an additional error caused by the control deficiency identified at year-end, as described in more detail in Note 3 ~~Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements.~~ We are implementing enhanced review procedures and documentation standards and our plan is to remediate this material weakness by the end of 2017, subject to there being sufficient opportunities to conclude, through testing, that the enhanced control is operating effectively.

Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the convertible senior notes due 2024 in cash or to repurchase the notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the notes.

Holders of our 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) have the right to require us to repurchase their Convertible Senior Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Convertible Senior Notes being converted. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of Convertible Senior Notes surrendered therefor or Convertible Senior Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the Convertible Senior Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase Convertible Senior Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture setting forth the terms of the Convertible Senior Notes or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the Convertible Senior Notes as required by the indenture would constitute a default under the indenture. A default under the indenture setting forth the terms of the Convertible Senior Notes or the occurrence of the fundamental change itself may lead to a default under our 2018 Credit Facility or other agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof. The increase in the conversion rate for Convertible Senior Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption may not adequately compensate holders for any lost value of such holders’ Convertible Senior Notes as a result of such transaction.

If a make-whole fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date or if we issue a notice of redemption with respect to the Convertible Senior Notes, under certain circumstances, we will increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of our common stock for Convertible Senior Notes converted in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption, as the case may be. The increase in the conversion rate will be determined based on the date on which the specified corporate transaction becomes effective, or the date of the notice of redemption, as the case may be and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of our common stock in such transaction or with respect to such redemption, as the case may be. The increase in the conversion rate for Convertible Senior Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption may not adequately compensate holders for any lost value of such holders’ Convertible Senior Notes as a result of such transaction or redemption. In addition, if the price per share of our common stock paid (or deemed paid) in the transaction is greater than $60.00 per share or less than $11.73 per share (in each case, subject to adjustment), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate. Moreover, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes as a result of this adjustment exceed 85.2514 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate.

Our obligation to increase the conversion rate for Convertible Senior Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.

The conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes is triggered, holders of Convertible Senior Notes will be entitled to convert the Convertible Senior Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Senior Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders of Convertible Senior Notes do not elect to convert their Convertible Senior Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Senior Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

Convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the Convertible Senior Notes, could have a material effect on our reported financial results.

Under certain circumstances, convertible debt instruments (such as the Convertible Senior Notes) that may be settled entirely or partly in cash may be accounted for utilizing the treasury stock method, the effect of which is that the shares issuable upon conversion of such Convertible Senior Notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent that the conversion value of such Convertible Senior Notes exceeds their principal amount. Under the treasury stock method, for diluted earnings per share purposes, the transaction is accounted for as if the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle such excess, if we elected to settle such excess in shares, are issued. We cannot be sure that the accounting standards in the future will continue to permit the use of the treasury stock method. If we are unable or otherwise elect not to use the treasury stock method in accounting for the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, then our diluted earnings per share could be adversely affected.

The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes may affect the value of the Convertible Senior Notes and our common stock.

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes and subsequently in connection with the exercise of the initial purchasers’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain optioncounterparties. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution uponconversion of the Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the aggregateprincipal amount of converted Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Senior Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the Convertible Senior Notes, which could affect holders’ ability to convert the Convertible Senior Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Convertible Senior Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes.

In addition, if any such Capped Call fails to become effective, the option counterparty party thereto may unwind its hedge positions with respect to our common stock, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock and, if the Convertible Senior Notes have been issued, the value of the Convertible Senior Notes.
