Interest is due semi-annually on the 15th of March and September, beginning on September 15, 2008. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible in certain circumstances into cash and, if applicable, shares of our common stock, based on an initial conversion rate of 14.7113 shares per $1,000 principal amount, subject to certain adjustments. Upon conversion of the notes, the Company will deliver cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and, at the election of the Company, cash and/or shares of common stock in respect to the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation. The proceeds from the Convertible Senior Notes were used to fund the cash portions of the acquisition of Copecresto Enterprises Limited and Whitehall.

The ASC Topic 470-20 requires the issuer of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features to separately account for the liability ($290.3 million as of the date of the issuance of the CSNs) and equity components ($19.7 million as of the date of the issuance of the CSNs) of the instrument. The debt component was recognized at the present value of its cash flows discounted using a 4.5% discount rate, our borrowing rate at the date of the issuance of the CSNs for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The equity component, recorded as additional paid-in capital, was $12.8 million, which represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the CSNs and the fair value of the liability, net of deferred taxes of $6.9 million as of the date of the issuance of the CSNs. ASC Topic 470-20 also requires an accretion of the resultant debt discount over the expected life of the CSNs, which is March 7, 2008 to March 15, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the additional pre-tax non-cash interest expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations was $4.3 million, $4.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to the debt discount was $15.4 million and $11.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The annual pre-tax increase in non-cash interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations to be recognized until 2013, the maturity date of the CSNs, amounts to $4.3 million.
