[1] | Net carrying amount is the principal amount less unamortized debt discount and issuance costs. In addition, the net carrying amount for our 2033E Notes for 2017 included $31 million of derivative debt liabilities recognized as a result of our election to settle entirely in cash converted notes with an aggregate principal amount of $16 million.
[2] | Since the closing price of our common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading day period ended on June 30, 2017, these notes are convertible by the holders through the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2017. The closing price of our common stock also exceeded the thresholds for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2017; therefore, these notes are convertible by the holders through December 31, 2017. The 2033 Notes were classified as current as of August 31, 2017 because the terms of these notes require us to pay cash for the principal amount of any converted notes and holders of these notes had the right to convert their notes as of that date.
