5. The initial Conversion Rate (as defined below) is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $160.00 per share of Common Stock. |
6. In accordance with the Investment Agreement dated June 22, 2021, SLP Spark and SLA Spark are restricted from exercising the Convertible Notes prior to the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the date of issuance and (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a change of control of the Issuer, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. |
7. The Convertible Notes mature on July 15, 2026, subject to earlier redemption, repurchase or conversion in accordance with their terms. |
8. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Issuer will deliver, at its election (or at the holder's election if in connection with a redemption), cash, Common Stock or combination thereof. Upon a redemption of the Convertible Notes at the Issuer's option, the redemption price will be paid in cash, unless holders elect to convert instead. This number represents the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes transferred if the Issuer elects to settle its conversion obligation solely through shares of Common Stock by delivering a number of shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 6.2500 shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Rate"), and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. The initial Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain customary events in accordance with the terms of an indenture governing the Convertible Notes. |
Remarks: |
Because no more than 10 reporting persons can file any one Form 4 through the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system, certain affiliates of the Reporting Persons are filing a separate Form 4. The Reporting Persons are jointly filing this Form 4 pursuant to Rule 16a-3(j) under the Exchange Act. This filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are beneficial owners of all securities covered by this filing for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, or are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein, if any. |
