The Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed fully, unconditionally, and jointly and severally by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned
The conversion rate will initially be 70.1533 shares of common stock per
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to August 21, 2028. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after August 21, 2028, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the “option counterparties�). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of notes, with such reduction subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Company expects the option counterparties or their respective affiliates to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common stock or the Convertible Notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the Convertible Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock or the Convertible Notes, which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following conversion or during any observation period related to a conversion of Convertible Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its Convertible Notes.
In connection with the concurrent share repurchase described above, the Company has agreed to repurchase shares of its common stock sold short by initial investors in the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on August 5, 2025, which was
The offering is being made to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Any offers of the Convertible Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. None of the Convertible Notes, the related guarantees or any shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes have been or are expected to be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Convertible Notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
