Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 6,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Firm Shares”), at a price to the public of $69.00 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of its common stock (together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) within 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement. The Company expects to receive approximately $395,370,000 in gross proceeds from the offering (after the underwriters’ discount), excluding the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The offering is scheduled to close on or about May 28, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
