Commissions and Discounts:
|
The underwriters have advised the Issuer that they propose initially to offer the Notes at a price of 100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus accrued interest from the original issue date of the Notes, if any, and to dealers at a price less a concession not in excess of 1.8% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest from the original issue date of the Notes, if any. The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses (which expenses, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated to be $1.0 million and are payable by the Issuer) to the Issuer. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. |

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant
Transactions:
|
The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, approximately 34.86 million shares of the Issuers common stock. The warrants issued to affiliates of the underwriters of the Notes cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 34.86 million shares of the Issuers common stock. The cost of the convertible note hedge transactions, after being partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the warrants, was $31.5 million. If the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional Notes is exercised, the Issuer will use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional |

Notes to increase the size of the convertible note hedge transactions. The Issuer will also sell additional warrants, which would result in additional proceeds to it. | ||
