The carrying amount of our senior notes listed above are net of debt issuance costs and any discounts and premiums that are amortized to interest costs over the respective terms of the notes.

The Company's 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the "1.625% Convertible Notes") are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the guarantors of our other senior notes on a senior unsecured basis. The 1.625% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year and will mature on May 15, 2018, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The holders may convert their 1.625% Convertible Notes at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 31.8394 shares of common stock per $1,000 of their principal amount (which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $31.41 per share), subject to adjustment. The Company may not redeem the 1.625% Convertible Notes prior to the stated maturity date.

The Company's 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the "0.25% Convertible Notes") are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the guarantors of our other senior notes on a senior unsecured basis. The 0.25% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per year and will mature on June 1, 2019, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The holders may convert their 0.25% Convertible Notes at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 13.5966 shares of common stock per $1,000 of their principal amount (which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $73.55 per share), subject to adjustment. The Company may not redeem the 0.25% Convertible Notes prior to June 6, 2017. On or after that date, the Company may redeem for cash any or all of the 0.25% Convertible Notes, at its option, if the closing sale price of its common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending within 5 trading days immediately preceding the date on which it provides notice of redemption, including the last trading day of such 30 day trading period, exceeds 130 percent of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day. The redemption price will equal 100 percent of the principal amount of the 0.25% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Company's 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the "1.25% Convertible Notes") are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the guarantors of our other senior notes on a senior unsecured basis. The 1.25% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per year and will mature on August 1, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The holders may convert their 1.25% Convertible Notes at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 24.8379 shares of common stock per $1,000 of their principal amount (which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $40.26 per share), subject to adjustment. The Company may not redeem the 1.25% Convertible Notes prior to August 5, 2017. On or after August 5, 2017 and prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 1.25% Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.25% Convertible Notes being redeemed. On each of August 1, 2017, August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2027, holders of the 1.25% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or any portion of their 1.25% Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.25% Convertible Notes to be repurchased.

Our senior notes payable are all senior obligations and rank equally with our other existing senior indebtedness and, with the exception of our Convertible Notes, are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, pursuant to a "make whole" formula. These notes contain various restrictive covenants. Our 10.75% Senior Notes due September 2016 (the "2016 Notes") contain our most restrictive covenants, including a limitation on additional indebtedness and a limitation on restricted payments. Outside of the specified categories of indebtedness that are carved out of the additional indebtedness limitation (including a carve-out for up to $1.1 billion in credit facility indebtedness), the Company must satisfy at least one of two conditions (either a maximum leverage condition or a minimum interest coverage condition) to incur additional indebtedness. The Company must also satisfy at least one of these two conditions to make restricted payments. Restricted payments include dividends, stock repurchases and investments in and advances to our joint ventures and other unrestricted subsidiaries. Our ability to make restricted payments is also subject to a basket limitation (as defined in the indenture). As of June 30, 2016, we were able to incur additional indebtedness and make restricted payments because we satisfied both conditions. Many of our 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") guaranty our outstanding senior notes. The guarantees are full and unconditional, and joint and several. The indentures entered into prior to our merger with Ryland provide that a Guarantor Subsidiary will be released and relieved of any obligations under the applicable note guarantee in the event (i) of a sale or other disposition (whether by merger, stock purchase, asset sale or otherwise) of a Guarantor Subsidiary to an entity which is not CalAtlantic Group, Inc. or a Guarantor Subsidiary; (ii) the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance have been satisfied; (iii) a Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to be a restricted subsidiary as the result of the Company owning less than 80% of such Guarantor Subsidiary; (iv) a Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to guarantee all other public notes of the Company; or (v) a Guarantor Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under the indentures for covenant purposes. The indentures entered into concurrently with the closing of our merger with Ryland provide that a Guarantor Subsidiary will be released and relieved of any obligations under the applicable note guarantee in the event that (in the case of the non-convertible senior notes) such Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to be a restricted subsidiary in the homebuilding segment or (in the case of the convertible senior notes) such Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to guaranty any publicly traded debt securities. Please see Note 22 for supplemental financial statement information about our guarantor subsidiaries group and non-guarantor subsidiaries group.

During the 2016 second quarter, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2026, which are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the guarantors of our other senior notes on a senior unsecured basis. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds of this issuance to repay or repurchase our 2016 Notes.
