Convertible Senior Notes | Note 12. Convertible Senior Notes Convertible Senior Notes Due 2027 On May 19, 2020, the Company issued, at par value, $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The 2027 Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 1.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2020. The 2027 Notes will mature on June 1, 2027. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were $975.9 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $24.1 million. The 2027 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries. Holders may convert all or any portion of their 2027 Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2026 only under the following circumstances: • during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares of Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2027 Notes on each applicable trading day; • during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the 2027 Notes on each such trading day; • upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under the 2027 Notes Indenture; or • if the Company calls the 2027 Notes for redemption, at any time until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date. On or after December 1, 2026, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2027 Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2027 Notes was initially, and remains, 4.1258 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $242.38 per share of the Company’s common stock. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, the amount of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 25 consecutive trading days observation period. The Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2027 Notes, at its option, on or after June 5, 2024 if the last reported sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, calling any 2027 Note for redemption on or after June 5, 2024 will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that 2027 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2027 Note, if it is converted in connection with the redemption, will be increased in certain circumstances as described in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes. In accounting for the issuance of the 2027 Notes, the Company separated the 2027 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the 2027 Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount, referred to as the debt discount, is amortized to interest expense from the issuance date to June 1, 2027. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The equity component related to the 2027 Notes was $286 million, net of issuance costs which was recorded in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has reserved 5.4 million shares of common stock for the 2027 Notes. In accounting for the transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2027 Notes, the Company allocated the total costs incurred to the liability and equity components of the 2027 Notes based on their relative values. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense over the seven year term of the 2027 Notes, and transaction costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity components in stockholders’ equity. The 2027 Notes consist of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, Liability component 2020 Principal $ 1,000,000 Less: Debt discount, net (1) (287,916) Net carrying amount $ 712,084 (1) Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet within convertible senior notes and amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the 2027 Notes using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the 2027 Notes was $1,188.9 million as of December 31, 2020. The Company estimates the fair value of its 2027 Notes utilizing market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in active markets. Since the 2027 Notes do not trade on a daily basis in an active market, the fair value estimates are based on market observable inputs based on borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and average maturities, which are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for definitions of hierarchy levels. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining contractual life of the 2027 Notes is approximately 6.4 years. The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the 2027 Notes (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 Contractual interest expense $ 7,743 Amortization of debt discount 21,756 Total $ 29,499 Effective interest rate of the liability component 3.4% Livongo Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025 As part of the Livongo acquisition in October 2020, the Company agreed to guarantee Livongo’s obligations under its $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Livongo Notes”), which had been issued by Livongo on June 4, 2020, prior to the Company’s acquisition of Livongo. The Livongo Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 0.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Livongo Notes will mature on June 1, 2025. The Livongo Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Livongo Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries. Holders may convert all or any portion of their Livongo Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2025 only under the following circumstances: • during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares of Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Livongo Notes on each applicable trading day; • during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the Livongo Notes on each such trading day; • upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under the 2027 Notes Indenture; or • if the Company calls the Livongo Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date. On or after March 1, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Livongo Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. The conversion rate for the Livongo Notes was initially 13.2329 shares of Livongo’s common stock. Following our acquisition of Livongo and the issuance of the special dividend to Livongo stockholders in connection with the merger, the conversion rate for the Livongo Notes is 13.94 units of reference property per $1,000 principal amount of the Livongo Notes. Each “unit of reference property” is comprised of 0.5920 of a share of our common stock and $4.24 in cash, without interest. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, units of reference property or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and units of reference property, the amount of cash and units of reference property, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 40 trading days observation period. The Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Livongo Notes, at its option, on or after June 5, 2023 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be the principal amount of the Livongo Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If Livongo undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture) at any time prior to the maturity date, holders will have the right, at their option, to require Livongo to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Livongo Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Livongo Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
