Holders of the Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) or convert their Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption in connection with any optional redemption are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2028, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:
| • | | during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2023 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the Notes on each applicable trading day; |
| • | | during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each day of that five day consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Common Stock and the conversion rate of the Notes on such trading day; |
| • | | if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or |
| • | | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as specified in the Indenture. |
A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Notes contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture.
Capped Call Transactions
On May 2, 2023, in connection with the pricing of the Notes, and on May 3, 2023, in connection with the full exercise by the Initial Purchasers of their option to purchase additional Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the Notes, their respective affiliates and other financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock that initially underlie the Notes, including the Notes purchased pursuant to the option to purchase additional Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments that the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap to be equal to a cap price of approximately $212.62, which represents a premium of 80% over the closing price of the Common Stock of $118.12 per share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 2, 2023.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the Capped Call Transactions, the Capped Call Counterparties have advised the Company that they and/or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or purchase the Common Stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes.
