2023 Convertible Notes

On August 24, 2018, the Company sold $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.875% convertible senior notes due September 1, 2023 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and an additional $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment options of the underwriters (collectively, the 2023 Notes). The total net proceeds from the 2023 Notes offering was approximately $562.1 million. As discussed further below, the Company repurchased approximately $150.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes using a portion of net proceeds from the sale of an additional convertible note offering (the 2026 Notes, as defined and explained below) in April 2020.

On December 8, 2021 (the Redemption Notice Date), the Company issued a notice (the Redemption Notice) to holders of the 2023 Notes calling all outstanding 2023 Notes for redemption. The Redemption Notice designated December 23, 2021 as the redemption date (the Redemption Date). On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price (as defined below) would have become due and payable on each of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed, and interest thereon would cease to accrue. However, any 2023 Notes called for redemption would not be redeemed if such note was converted before the Redemption Date. The Redemption Price for the 2023 Notes called for redemption was an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of such note plus accrued and unpaid interest on such note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, which equated to a Redemption Price of $1,002.72222 per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes (the Redemption Price).

As of the Redemption Notice Date, the conversion rate of the 2023 Notes was 16.6745 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of such notes. However, in accordance with the Indenture, dated as of August 24, 2018, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, which governed the terms of the 2023 Notes, the conversion rate for 2023 Notes that were converted after the Redemption Notice Date was increased to 16.7769 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of such notes. Before the Redemption Date, all outstanding 2023 Notes were surrendered for conversion, resulting in the settlement of all outstanding 2023 Notes in approximately 7.1 million shares of the Company's common stock, with cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The fair value of shares issued upon conversion of all outstanding 2023 Notes was $788.0 million. The amount of cash paid for fractional shares was immaterial.

2026 Convertible Notes

On April 21, 2020, the Company sold $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% convertible senior notes due May 1, 2026 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and an additional $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment options of the underwriters (the 2026 Notes). The total net proceeds from the 2026 Notes offering was approximately $561.4 million.

The conversion rate will initially be 21.1346 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of 2026 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $47.32 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for some events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, or following the Company's issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2026 Notes in connection with such a corporate event, or who elects to convert any 2026 Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period in certain circumstances. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at its option, on a redemption date occurring on or after May 1, 2023 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sales price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company undergoes certain fundamental changes related to the Company's common stock, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portions of their 2026 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Holders may convert their 2026 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 3, 2025 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1.0 thousand principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of its common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 3, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2026 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company's election.

2028 Convertible Notes

On February 3, 2022, the Company sold $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes due February 15, 2028 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment options of the underwriters (the 2028 Notes). The total net proceeds from the 2028 Notes offering was approximately $732.3 million.

The Company used approximately $108.2 million of the net proceeds from the 2028 Notes to fund the cost of entering into capped call transactions.

The conversion rate will initially be 7.8602 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of 2028 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $127.22 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for some events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, or following the Company's issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2028 Notes in connection with such a corporate event, or who elects to convert any 2028 Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period in certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the 2028 Notes prior to February 18, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Notes, at its option, on a redemption date occurring on or after February 18, 2025 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sales price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company undergoes certain fundamental changes related to the Company's common stock, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portions of their 2028 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Holders may convert their 2028 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 16, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1.0 thousand principal amount of 2028 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of its common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2028 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after August 16, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2028 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company's election.

Capped Call Transactions in relation to the 2028 Notes

On January 31, 2022, in connection with the pricing of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or affiliates thereof (the 2028 Notes Capped Call Counterparties). In connection with the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional notes, the Company entered into additional privately negotiated capped call transactions (such transactions, collectively, the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions) with each of the 2028 Notes Capped Call Counterparties. The 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock upon any conversion of 2028 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2028 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap which initially is $212.04 per share, representing a premium of 125% over the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock on January 31, 2022, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions.

The 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the 2028 Notes Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2028 Notes, and do not affect any holder’s rights under the 2028 Notes. Holders of the 2028 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the 2028 Notes Capped Call Transactions.

2029 Convertible Notes

On November 21, 2022, the Company sold $1,525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.875% convertible senior notes due December 1, 2029 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and an additional $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment options of the underwriters (the 2029 Notes). The total net proceeds from the 2029 Notes offering was approximately $1,718.6 million.

The Company used approximately $273.9 million of the net proceeds from the 2029 Notes to fund the cost of entering into capped call transactions.

The conversion rate will initially be 8.4118 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of 2029 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $118.88 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for some events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, or following the Company's issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2029 Notes in connection with such a corporate event, or who elects to convert any 2029 Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period in certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the 2029 Notes prior to December 4, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes, at its option, on a redemption date occurring on or after December 4, 2026 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sales price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company undergoes certain fundamental changes related to the Company's common stock, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portions of their 2029 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Holders may convert their 2029 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2029 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2023 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1.0 thousand principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of its common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2029 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after June 1, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2029 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company's election.

Capped Call Transactions in relation to the 2029 Notes

On November 16, 2022, in connection with the pricing of the 2029 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and another financial institution (the 2029 Notes Capped Call Counterparties). In connection with the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional notes, the Company entered into additional privately negotiated capped call transactions (such transactions, collectively, the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions) with each of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Counterparties. The 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock upon any conversion of 2029 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2029 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap which initially is $202.538 per share, representing a premium of 130% over the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on November 16, 2022, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions.

The 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2029 Notes, and do not affect any holder’s rights under the 2029 Notes. Holders of the 2029 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions.

Accounting for the Convertible Notes

In accounting for the initial issuance of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes, the Company separated such notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was $145.4 million and $187.6 million for the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes, respectively. The amounts were determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of each of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06 on June 27, 2022, the first day of fiscal 2023, the unamortized discounts on the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes were eliminated and the liability and equity components relating to the debt issuance costs for the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes are now presented as a single liability. Debt issuance costs for the 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2029 Notes are amortized to interest expense over their respective terms at an effective annual interest rate of 2.2%, 0.6% and 2.1% respectively.

The net carrying amount of the liability component of the 2026 Notes, the 2028 Notes and the 2029 Notes (collectively, the Outstanding Convertible Notes) is as follows:

(in millions of U.S. Dollars)	June 30, 2024	June 25, 2023
Principal	$3,075.0	$3,075.0
Unamortized discount and issuance costs	(40.1)	(49.4)
Net carrying amount	$3,034.9	$3,025.6

The last reported sale price of the Company's common stock was not greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for any of the Outstanding Convertible Notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ended on June 30, 2024. As a result, none of the Outstanding Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders through September 30, 2024.

2030 Senior Notes

On June 23, 2023 (the Issue Date), the Company sold $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the 2030 Senior Notes). The total net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes was approximately $1,149.3 million. The total net proceeds are net of debt issuance costs and an original issue discount of $50.0 million.

The 2030 Senior Notes bear interest (i) during the first three years after the Issue Date at a rate of 9.875% per annum, (ii) during the fourth year after the Issue Date at a rate of 10.875% per annum, and (iii) at all times thereafter, 11.875% per annum, and will mature on the earlier of (x) June 23, 2030 and (y) September 1, 2029, if more than $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes remain outstanding on such date. Subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, the Company may, at its discretion, issue and sell additional 2030 Senior Notes in an amount not to exceed $750.0 million.

The Indenture related to the 2030 Senior Notes (the 2030 Senior Notes Indenture) requires the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 2030 Senior Notes with 100% of the net cash proceeds of (x) certain core asset sales and casualty events and (y) certain non-core asset sales and casualty events, in either case in excess of $25.0 million since the Issue Date, subject to the ability to (so long as no default or event of default exists under the 2030 Senior Notes Indenture), reinvest the proceeds of such casualty events and asset sales (other than the proceeds of sales of certain core assets of the Company), at a price equal to the lesser of (i) 109.875% of the principal amount of the 2030 Senior Notes being repurchased and (ii) if such disposition or casualty event occurred (x) during the fourth year after the Issue Date, 109.40625% of the principal amount of such 2030 Senior Notes being repurchased, (y) during the fifth year after the Issue Date, 104.9375% of the principal amount of such 2030 Senior Notes being repurchased and (z) during and after the sixth year after the Issue Date, 100% of the principal amount of such 2030 Senior Notes being repurchased (this clause (ii), the Applicable Redemption Price). The Company is also required to offer to repurchase the 2030 Senior Notes upon a change in control, at a price equal to, (i) if the change of control occurs during the first three years after the Issue Date, a customary make-whole redemption price minus 3.00% of the principal amount of Senior Notes being purchased and (ii) if such change of control occurs after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Applicable Redemption Price. The Company may prepay the 2030 Senior Notes at any time, subject to: (i) if the prepayment occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, by paying a customary make-whole premium and (ii) if the prepayment occurs on or after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, by paying the Applicable Redemption Price. Further, the Company has the right, prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, to make an optional redemption of up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Senior Notes with the proceeds of qualified equity issuances, at a redemption price equal to 109.875%.

The 2030 Senior Notes Indenture contains certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, including a liquidity maintenance financial covenant requiring the Company to have an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents maintained in accounts over which the trustee and collateral agent has been granted a perfected first lien security interest of at least $500.0 million as of the last day of any calendar month (the Liquidity Covenant). Upon the

Company achieving 30% utilization at its silicon carbide device fabrication facility in Marcy, New York and generating at least $240.0 million of revenue from the Company's Power product line, that are manufactured or produced on wafers that are fabricated at the Marcy, New York facility (the MVF Products), in each case over a six month period, the level of the Liquidity Covenant shall be permanently reduced to $325.0 million. Upon the Company’s achieving 50% utilization at its Marcy, New York facility and generating at least $450.0 million of revenue from MVF Products, in each case over a six month period, the Liquidity Covenant will be permanently reduced to zero.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants relating to the 2030 Senior Notes.

The 2030 Senior Notes are superior in right of payment to the Company's unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing the 2030 Senior Notes. Beyond the value of the collateral securing the 2030 Senior Notes, the 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2030 Senior Notes (Corporate Debt Holdings) are equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness; senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Corporate Debt Holdings; effectively subordinated in right of payment of any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Debt issuance costs in relation to the 2030 Senior Notes were accounted for as a reduction of the principal balance and, along with the original issue discount, amortized over the term of the 2030 Senior Notes at an effective interest rate of 12.4%.

CRD Agreement Deposits

In July 2023, the Company entered into an Unsecured Customer Refundable Deposit Agreement (the CRD Agreement) with a customer, pursuant to which the customer agreed to provide the Company up to $2 billion in unsecured deposits. Under the CRD Agreement, the Company received an initial deposit of $1 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 with the option to receive additional deposits up to $1 billion at the Company's request, subject to certain conditions during the 2024 calendar year. On February 27, 2024, the Company received an additional deposit of $500 million (the second draw), and on June 26, 2024, the Company received the final deposit of $500 million (the third draw). Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the CRD Agreement will mature on July 5, 2033, and the amount of the deposits, together with accrued and unpaid interest, will be required to be repaid to the customer at such time.

The deposits under the CRD Agreement bear interest, payable on a semi-annual basis, at a base rate of 6% per annum, with the potential for an increased variable rate of either 10% or 15% in connection with any inability of the Company to satisfy supply targets under a ten-year wafer supply agreement with the same customer. The Company may voluntarily prepay the deposits, in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal to 106% of the principal amount of the deposits prepaid. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the customer may require the Company to prepay the deposits in whole at a variable prepayment price depending on the day of prepayment.

Debt issuance costs in relation to the CRD Agreement deposits were accounted for as a reduction of the principal balance and will be amortized over the term of the deposit at an effective interest rate of 6.3%.

The CRD Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to this agreement.

The net carrying amount of the liability of the 2030 Senior Notes and the deposits under the CRD Agreement is as follows:

(in millions of U.S. Dollars)	June 30, 2024	June 25, 2023
Principal	$3,250.0	$1,250.0
Unamortized discount and issuance costs	(123.8)	(100.5)
Net carrying amount	$3,126.2	$1,149.5

Interest Expense

The interest expense, net recognized is as follows:

	Fiscal Years Ended
(in millions of U.S. Dollars)	June 30, 2024	June 25, 2023	June 26, 2022
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest	$214.7	$32.3	$2.6
Amortization of discount and issuance costs, net of capitalized interest	28.4	7.5	20.1
