[1] | 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 December 31, 2019, these notes are convertible by the holders through the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, the closing price of our common stock also exceeded the thresholds for the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020; therefore, these notes are convertible by the holders at any time through June 30, 2020.
