Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 The principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 upon issuance was $ 46.0 million. Transaction costs related to the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 incurred upon issuance were $ 1.5 million. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 mature on December 1, 2025. The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are convertible at the option of holders in certain circumstances and during certain periods into the Company’s common shares, cash, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Indenture for the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 provides that notes will become convertible during a quarter when the share price for 20 trading days during the final 30 trading days of the immediately preceding quarter was greater than 130 % of the conversion price. This criterion was met during the first quarter of 2024 and as such the notes can be converted at the option of the holders beginning April 1 through June 30, 2024. Whether the notes will be convertible following such period will depend on if this criterion, or another conversion condition, is met in the future. As such, the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are classified as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024. This criterion was also met as of December 31, 2023. To date, no holders have elected to convert their notes during any optional conversion periods.
