Capped Calls In connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the 2025 Notes, and the 2027 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions relating to each series of Notes (the “Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls are expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the applicable series of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we may make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes of such series, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The Capped Calls are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified extraordinary events affecting us, including merger events and tender offers. In addition, the Capped Calls are subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the Capped Calls, including nationalization, insolvency or delisting, changes in law, failures to deliver, insolvency filings and hedging disruptions. The following table sets forth other key terms and premiums paid for the Capped Calls related to the 2023 Notes, the 2025 Notes, and the 2027 Notes: Capped Calls Entered into in Connection with the Issuance of the 2023 and 2025 Notes Capped Calls Entered into in Connection with the Issuance of the 2027 Notes Initial strike price, subject to certain adjustments $ 148.30 $ 255.34 Cap price, subject to certain adjustments $ 232.62 $ 378.28 Total premium paid (in thousands) $ 274,275 $ 137,379 For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of any series of Notes. As the Capped Calls qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting for instruments that are both indexed to our own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet, the premium paid for the purchase of the Capped Calls has been recorded as a reduction to “Additional paid-in capital” and will not be remeasured. |
