3.625% Convertible Notes due 2019

On June 17, 2014, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “convertible notes”). The Company received net proceeds of $192.9 million from the sale of the convertible notes, after deducting fees of $6.0 million and expenses of $1.1 million. The Company used $43.2 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the convertible notes to pay the cost of the convertible bond hedges, as described below, after such cost was partially offset by $27.6 million in proceeds to the Company from the sale of warrants in the warrant transactions also described below.

The convertible notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the trustee. The convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 3.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2014. The convertible notes will mature on June 15, 2019, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The convertible notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of approximately 107.5095 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, which corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.30 per share of the Company’s common stock and represents a conversion premium of approximately 32.5% based on the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $7.02 on June 11, 2014, the date the notes offering was priced. The principal amount of the notes exceeded the if-converted value as of June 30, 2014.

 

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2018, holders may convert their convertible notes at their option only under the following circumstances:

 

    during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2014 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price, or approximately $12.00 per share, on each applicable trading day;

 

    during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

 

    upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after December 15, 2018 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their convertible notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, at its election.

If a make-whole fundamental change, as described in the indenture, occurs and a holder elects to convert its convertible notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate as described in the indenture.

The Company may not redeem the convertible notes prior to the maturity date and no “sinking fund” is provided for the convertible notes, which means that the Company is not required to periodically redeem or retire the convertible notes. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the convertible notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their convertible notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture does not contain any financial or maintenance covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries) occurs and is continuing, the trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes by written notice to the Company and the trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the convertible notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the convertible notes will become due and payable automatically. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indenture provides that, to the extent the Company elects and for up to 180 days, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the convertible notes.

In accordance with accounting guidance for debt with conversion and other options, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of the convertible notes by allocating the proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component, due to the Company’s ability to settle the convertible notes in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company’s option. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The allocation was performed in a manner that reflected the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate for similar debt. The equity component of the convertible notes was recognized as a debt discount and represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes and the fair value of the liability of the convertible notes on their date of issuance. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount, or debt discount, is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the five year life of the convertible notes, which was the approximate remaining discount amortization period as of June 30, 2014. The equity component is not remeasured for changes in fair value as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

The outstanding convertible note balances as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the following:

In connection with the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of legal, accounting and other professional fees, and allocated these costs to the liability and equity components based on the allocation of the proceeds. Of the total $1.1 million of debt issuance costs, $254,000 were allocated to the equity component and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and $825,000 were allocated to the liability component and recorded in other assets on the balance sheet. The portion allocated to the liability component is amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

The Company determined the expected life of the debt was equal to the five-year term on the convertible notes. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying value of the convertible notes was $153.1 million and approximated their fair value due to the recent issuance of such convertible notes. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 9.6% for the period from the date of issuance through June 30, 2014. The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the convertible notes during the three months ended June 30, 2014:

Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the convertible notes and in order to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock and/or offset any cash payments in excess of the principal amount due upon conversion of the convertible notes, on June 12, 2014, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions covering approximately 21.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, an affiliate of JPMorgan Securities LLC (the “Counter Party”). The convertible bond hedges have an exercise price of approximately $9.30 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain events, and are exercisable when and if the convertible notes are converted. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, if the price of the Company’s common stock is above the exercise price of the convertible bond hedges, the Counter Party will deliver shares of the Company’s common stock and/or cash with an aggregate value approximately equal to the difference between the price of the Company’s common stock at the conversion date and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock related to the convertible bond hedges being exercised. The convertible bond hedges are separate transactions entered into by the Company and are not part of the terms of the convertible notes or the warrants, discussed below. Holders of the convertible notes will not have any rights with respect to the convertible bond hedges. The Company paid $43.2 million for these convertible bond hedges and recorded this amount as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

At the same time, the Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with the Counter Party relating to, in the aggregate, approximately 21.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes. The initial exercise price of the warrants is $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain events, which is approximately 70% above the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $7.02 on June 11, 2014. Upon exercise, the Company will deliver shares of the Company’s common stock and /or cash with an aggregate value equal to the excess of the price of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares, of the Company’s common stock underlying the exercise. The warrants will be exercisable and will expire in equal installments for a period of 100 trading days beginning on September 15, 2019. The warrants were issued to the Counter Party pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company received $27.6 million for these warrants and recorded this amount as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Aside from the initial payment of a $43.2 million premium to the Counter Party under the convertible bond hedges, which cost is partially offset by the receipt of a $27.6 million premium under the warrants, the Company is not required to make any cash payments to the Counter Party under the convertible bond hedges and will not receive any proceeds if the warrants are exercised.

The bank term loan provided for quarterly payments of principal and interest with final scheduled maturity on December 31, 2015. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 to 2.25 percent, depending on the percentage of the Company’s liquid assets on deposit with or invested through the bank, or at the prime rate. The loan was secured by a lien on all assets of the Company excluding intellectual property, which the Company agreed not to pledge to any other party. The loan required the Company to maintain a minimum of $15.0 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and investments. The loan also contained certain covenants that restricted additional indebtedness, additional liens and sales of assets, and dividends, distributions or repurchases of common stock. The term loan was paid in full on June 17, 2014.
