| • |  | Conversion rate increase in certain customary circumstances : In certain circumstances, conversions in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the indentures) 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 144.9275 shares and 270.2702 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes and 2020 Notes, respectively (the equivalent of 69,036,410 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020:
|  | December 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
|  | 2021 Notes |  |  | 2020 Notes |  |  | Total |
Principal amount |  | $ | 150,000 |  |  | $ | 175,000 |  |  | $ | 325,000 |  |  | $ | 175,000 |
Plus: Premium |  |  | — |  |  |  | 250 |  |  |  | 250 |  |  |  | 250 |
Gross proceeds |  |  | 150,000 |  |  |  | 175,250 |  |  |  | 325,250 |  |  |  | 175,250 |
Less: Unamortized discount (1) |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | (4,207 | )
Less: Unamortized issuance costs (1) |  |  | (3,833 | ) |  |  | (2,793 | ) |  |  | (6,626 | ) |  |  | (4,397 | )
Carrying amount |  | $ | 146,167 |  |  | $ | 172,457 |  |  | $ | 318,624 |  |  | $ | 166,646 |
Effective interest rate (2) |  |  | 3.83 | % |  |  | 5.26 | % |  |  | 4.60 | % |  |  | 6.29 | %
(1) | Unamortized discount was reduced by $ 4,207 and unamortized issuance costs increased by $119 upon the early adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. The discount previously arose from the bifurcation of the conversion option which occurred prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06. The unamortized issuance costs are reported net of the unamortized premium.
(2) | Includes amortization of the issuance costs and premium. The effective interest rate prior to January 1, 2021 also included amortization of the discount arising from the bifurcation of the conversion option.
On January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06, which simplified the accounting for convertible instruments by providing for such instruments being reported as a single liability (applicable to the Convertible Notes) or equity with no separate accounting for the embedded conversion features unless the conversion feature meets the criteria for accounting under the substantial premium model or does not qualify for a derivative scope exception. Previously, convertible instruments were required to be separated into their liability and equity components by allocating the issuance proceeds to each of those components. The discount arising from the recognition of the equity component was amortized as interest expense over the life of the 2020 Notes. Interest expense on the Convertible Notes during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $12,332. Interest expense on the 2020 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $5,582. Interest payable of $590 and $342 at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, 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 $360,571 and $198,968 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The if-converted value of the 2020 Notes was $180,912 at December 31, 2021 and did not exceed the principal amount at December 31, 2020. The if-converted value of the 2021 Notes did not exceed the principal amount at December 31, 2021.
