In April 2020, the Company closed on an aggregate $575.0 million of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025, including the exercise of the full $75.0 million over-allotment option, receiving proceeds of $557.6 million, net of $17.4 million of transaction fees and other third-party offering expenses. The Convertible Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020 and mature on April 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

The Convertible Senior Notes are the Company’s unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness; senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Senior Notes; effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Upon issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes in April 2020, the initial conversion rate was 28.2618 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $35.38 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the payment of dividends. In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change prior to the maturity of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a specified number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert the Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such a fundamental change.

As of January 30, 2021, the conversion rate for the Convertible Senior Notes was 28.8028, which represents a conversion price of $34.72 per share. The difference between the initial conversion rate and the conversion rate as of January 30, 2021 is due to dividends that have been declared and paid on shares of the Company’s common stock following the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes. Because the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $67.01 at the end of fiscal 2020 exceeded the conversion price of $34.72, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes by approximately $534.8 million at January 30, 2021. As described below, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions, which are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes.

Upon conversion, the Company may settle the Convertible Senior Notes for cash, shares of the Company’s stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option. The Company also has the ability to irrevocably elect to settle the Convertible Senior Notes in cash without amending the indentures or the Notes themselves. The Company currently intends to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash and any conversion premium in shares of its common stock.

Convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash are required to be separated into liability and equity components. The allocation to the liability component is based on the fair value of a similar instrument that does not contain an equity conversion option. Based on this debt to equity ratio, debt issuance costs are then allocated to the liability and equity components in a similar manner. Accordingly, at issuance the Company allocated $396.9 million to the debt liability and $160.7 million to additional paid in capital.

The difference between the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes and the liability component, inclusive of issuance costs, represents the debt discount, which the Company will amortize to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes using an effective interest rate of 11.6%. During fiscal 2020, the Company recognized $36.4 million of total interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes, of which $21.6 million was attributed to non-cash amortization of the debt discount.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 2, 2024, noteholders may convert their Convertible Senior Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at their option only in the following circumstances:

•during any calendar quarter, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect on each applicable trading day;

•during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the “Measurement Period”) if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

At January 30, 2021, the stock price conditions under which the Convertible Senior Notes could be convertible at the holders’ option were met. However, the Company has not received any conversion requests through the filing date of this Form 10-K.

On or after December 2, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Notes, noteholders may convert their Convertible Senior Notes at their option at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions.

The Company may redeem the Convertible Senior Notes at its option at any time on or after April 17, 2023 at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any Convertible Senior Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Convertible Senior Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Convertible Senior Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Notes, holders of the Convertible Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

In connection with the sale of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company purchased a bond hedge designed to mitigate the potential dilution to shareholders from the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes. Under the five-year term of the bond hedge, upon a conversion of the bonds the Company will receive shares of common stock equal to the shares issued under the conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes. The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, and that the Company would receive under the bond hedge, is equal to the number of shares underlying the Convertible Senior Notes, or approximately 16.6 million shares.

The cost of the bond hedge was partially offset by the Company’s sale of warrants to acquire approximately 16.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were initially exercisable at a price of at least $52.42 per share and are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the payment of dividends. As of January 30, 2021, the warrants were exercisable at a price of at least $51.44 per share. The difference between the initial and current exercise price is due to dividends that have been declared and paid on shares of the Company’s common stock following the issuance of the warrants.

The bond hedge and warrant transactions effectively increased the conversion price associated with the Convertible Senior Notes during the term of these transactions from 35% to 100% at their issuance, thereby reducing the dilutive economic effect to shareholders upon actual conversion. There would be dilution from the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes to the extent that the then-market price per share of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrants at the time of conversion.

The bond hedges and warrants are indexed to, and potentially settled in shares of, the Company’s common stock. The net cost of $55.8 million for the purchase of the bond hedges and sale of the warrants was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
