The exact stock price and effective dates may not be set forth in the table, in which case:
· |
| if the stock price is between two stock price amounts on the table or the effective date is between two dates on the table, the number of make-whole shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of make-whole shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; |
|
|
|
· |
| if the stock price is in excess of $160.00 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments), no make-whole shares will be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock; and |
|
|
|
· |
| if the stock price is less than $37.64 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments), no make-whole shares will be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. |
Conversion Upon Fundamental Change: |
| If the reference price in connection with a fundamental change is less than the applicable conversion price, in lieu of the make-whole shares described above, a holder may elect to convert each share of Preferred Stock during the period beginning on the effective date of the fundamental change and ending on the date that is 30 days after the effective date of such fundamental change at an adjusted conversion price equal to the greater of (1) the reference price and (2) $18.82, which is 50% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the prospectus supplement, subject to anti-dilution adjustments (the “base price”). If the reference price is less than the base price, holders will receive a maximum of 53.1350 shares of Common Stock per share of Preferred Stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, which may result in a holder receiving value that is less than the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock. |
