Optional Redemption

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole and not in part, at our option at any time on or after June 20, 2025, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30
consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. In addition, calling the Notes
for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change, which will require us to increase the conversion rate in certain circumstances.

Concurrent Note Repurchase Transactions
|
Contemporaneously with the pricing of this offering, we entered into separate privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (our “2023 notes”) and our 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2024 (our “2024 notes”) to repurchase approximately $135.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 notes and 2024 notes on terms that were negotiated with such holders (each a “note repurchase,” and collectively, the “note
repurchase transactions”).
We expect that certain holders of 2023 notes and 2024 notes that sold their 2023 notes and 2024 notes in negotiated transactions with us may enter into or unwind various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchase shares
of our common stock in the market. The amount of our common stock that such holders purchase may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of our common stock. In addition, we expect that certain purchasers of
the Notes may establish a short position with respect to our common stock by short selling our common stock or by entering into short derivative positions with respect to our common stock, in each case, in connection with this offering. The
net effect of the market activities described above by holders of the 2023 notes and 2024 notes and purchasers of the Notes could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) or decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the
market price of our common stock and the market price of the Notes, and may have increased the initial conversion price of the Notes, and we cannot predict the magnitude of such market activities or the overall effect they will have on the
market price of the Notes, the market price of our common stock or the initial conversion price of the Notes.
|
Concurrent Offering of Borrowed Shares
|
Concurrently with this offering and by means of a separate prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, up to 38.5 million shares of our common stock will be offered by selling stockholders, who will borrow such shares through
lending arrangements from an affiliate of Jefferies LLC, which, as Share Borrower, is borrowing the shares from us. The borrowed shares are newly-issued shares issued in connection with this transaction and will be cancelled or held as
treasury shares by us upon the expiration or the early termination of the share lending arrangements described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. We expect that the selling stockholders will sell the borrowed shares and use the
resulting short position to establish their initial hedge with respect to their investments in the Notes. The selling stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the borrowed shares at various prices from time to time through the
Share Borrower or its affiliates. The selling stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the borrowed shares, and we will not receive any of those proceeds, but we will receive from the Share Borrower a one-time
nominal fee of $0.0001 per share for each newly issued share. The concurrent offering of the borrowed shares is conditioned upon the closing of this offering.
|
Use of Proceeds
|
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $144.8 million (or approximately $166.6 million if the underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriters’ discounts
and commissions and our estimated offering expenses.
We intend to use approximately $138.3 million of the net proceeds from this offering to finance the concurrent repurchase of a portion of our 2023 notes and a portion of our 2024 notes, as described in “Concurrent Note Repurchase
Transactions” above. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates may hold a portion of the outstanding 2023 notes and 2024 notes we have agreed to repurchase and therefore could receive a portion of the net proceeds of this offering related to any such
repurchase of our 2023 notes and 2024 notes.

Increase in Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change
|
If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) occurs and the conversion date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related “make-whole fundamental change conversion period” (as
defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), then, subject to the provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase in Conversion Rate in Connection with a
Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the conversion rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “additional shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation, as described below) to the
make-whole fundamental change effective date and the stock price of such make-whole fundamental change:

if such stock price is between two stock prices in the table above or the make-whole fundamental change effective date is between two make-whole fundamental change effective dates in the table above, then the number of additional shares
will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the numbers of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices in the table above and/or the earlier and later make-whole fundamental change effective dates in
the table above, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and
|
• |
if the stock price is greater than $20.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted, as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the
caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase in Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change—Adjustment of Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares”), or less than $2.36 (subject to adjustment in the
same manner), per share, then no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.
