The Conversion Rate relating to the Notes, previously equal to 16.6603 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, was increased to 16.7023 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in accordance with Section 14.04(d) of the Indenture as a result of the upcoming payment by the Company of the cash dividend scheduled for March 28, 2018. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate was effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 6, 2018, the ex-dividend date for the dividend. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate was calculated in accordance with Section 14.04(d), as set forth on Schedule 1.
If the dividend is not paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Company’s board of directors determines not to pay such dividend, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.
