Convertible Notes | 13. Convertible Notes On August 13, 2020, the Company issued and sold $25,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Additional Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated June 16, 2020, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Additional Notes were issued at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus interest deemed to have accrued since June 16, 2020, and constitute a further issuance of, and form a single series with, the Company’s outstanding 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 issued on June 16, 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “Existing Notes” and together with the Additional Notes, the “Convertible Notes”). Immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company had $175,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding. The Company used approximately $28,297 of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes to repurchase 7,487,335 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $3.78 per share. Key terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows:

| • |  | Conversion price of $5.92 : Convertible at an initial conversion rate of 168.9189 shares of the Company’s common stock, per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.92 per share).

On or after March 15, 2023 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

| • |  | Conversion rate increase in certain customary circumstances : In certain circumstances, conversions in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture) or conversions of Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption may result in an increase to the conversion rate, provided that the conversion rate will not exceed 270.2702 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the equivalent of 47,297,285 shares of the Company’s common stock), subject to adjustment.

The following table provides a summary of the carrying value of the Convertible Notes at September 30, 2020:

Principal amount |  | $ | 175,000 |  |  | $ | 25,000 |  |  | $ | 150,000 |
Plus: premium on Additional Notes |  |  | 250 |  |  |  | 250 |  |  |  | — |
Gross proceeds |  |  | 175,250 |  |  |  | 25,250 |  |  |  | 150,000 |

Carrying amount |  | $ | 165,819 |  |  | $ | 23,637 |  |  | $ | 142,182 |
Effective interest rate (2) |  |  | 6.29 | % |  |  | 6.37 | % |  |  | 6.28 | %
(1) | The debt discount arose from the bifurcation of the conversion option. The unamortized debt discount and issuance costs is reported net of the unamortized premium on the Additional Notes.
(2) | Includes amortization of the discount arising from the bifurcation of the conversion option, amortization of the issuance costs allocated to the Convertible Notes and amortization of the premium associated with the Additional Notes.
Convertible instruments are required to be separated into their liability and equity components by allocating the issuance proceeds to each of those components. The liability component for convertible instruments that qualify for a derivative scope exception (applicable to the Convertible Notes) is allocated proceeds equal to the estimated fair value of similar debt without the conversion option. The difference between the gross proceeds received from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the proceeds allocated to the liability component represents the residual amount that is recorded in additional paid-in capital. The debt discount arising from the recognition of this residual amount is amortized as interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. The Company estimated the fair value of the liability component of the Convertible Notes to be $170,191, which represents the present value of the future contractual payments, discounted using the Company’s estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate of 5.33% (classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) on the pricing date. The excess of the gross proceeds received over the estimated fair value of the liability component totaling $5,059 ($906 and $4,153 for the Additional Notes and Existing Notes, respectively) was allocated to the conversion option (along with a proportional share of issuance costs totaling $157 ) and was recorded in additional paid-in capital, net of deferred taxes. Interest expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $2,511 and $2,888, respectively. Interest payable of $2,173 at September 30, 2020 is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Convertible Notes (classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) was $167,153 at September 30, 2020. The if-converted value of the Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal amount at September 30, 2020.
