Capped Call Transactions
On March 4, 2024, in connection with the pricing of the Notes, and on March 5, 2024, in connection with the full exercise by the Initial Purchasers of their option to purchase additional Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock that initially underlie the Notes, including the Notes purchased pursuant to the option to purchase additional Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments that 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 equal to $218.10, which represents a premium of 100.0% over the closing price of the Common Stock of $109.05 per share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 4, 2024.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the Capped Call Transactions, the Capped Call Counterparties have advised the Company that they and/or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or purchase the Common Stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes at that time.
In addition, the Capped Call Counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Common Stock and/or purchasing or selling the Common Stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes or following any repurchase of Notes by the Company in connection with any optional redemption, any fundamental change repurchase or otherwise, in each case, if the Company elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the Capped Call Transactions in connection with such conversion or such redemption or repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes, which could affect noteholders’ ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of shares of Common Stock and the value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the Notes.
The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes, and do not affect a holder’s rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.
The form of the capped call transaction confirmation (the “Capped Call Confirmation”) is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Capped Call Confirmation contained in this Form 8-K are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.1.
On March 8, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of its offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference.
