certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to September 20, 2027. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after September 20, 2027 if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which it provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Indenture and is not a complete discussion. Accordingly,
the
foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit
4.1
to
this Current Report o
n
Form
and incorporated herein by reference. A form of Note is included in Exhibit 4.1.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, on March 6, 2024, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”) with the option counterparties, including certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates, pursuant to capped call confirmations in substantially the form filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
(each a “Confirmation”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Common Stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments 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. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be approximately $28.34 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 70% over the closing price of the Common Stock of $16.67 per share on March 6, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.
The foregoing description of the Capped Call Transactions contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the form of Confirmation filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and incorporated herein by reference.
