SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following information supplements the information set forth under the captions “Selling Stockholders” in the Prospectus. This Supplement No. 2 includes information with respect to selling stockholders not previously listed in the Prospectus. This information is based solely upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the date hereof.

The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned before this offering, offered for resale hereunder and beneficially owned after this offering for each selling stockholder assume (i) the conversion by the selling stockholders of all 3½% Convertible Notes held by them at the current conversion rate, (ii) the offer and sale by the selling stockholders of all shares of our common stock received upon such conversion that are registered for resale hereunder and (iii) no other acquisitions, dispositions or issuances of shares of our common stock. However, the selling stockholders may not convert all of the 3½% Convertible Notes held by them and, even if they do convert all of such notes, they may not offer or sell any of the shares of our common stock received upon such conversion hereunder. They may also acquire additional shares of our common stock other than pursuant to conversion or may dispose of shares of our common stock other than under this Supplement No. 2 and the Prospectus. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the aggregate number of shares that the selling stockholders will ultimately offer and sell pursuant to this Supplement No. 2 and the Prospectus or that the selling stockholders will ultimately own upon completion of the offering to which this Supplement No. 2 and the Prospectus relate.

As of March 31, 2018, 402,140,074 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding (excluding treasury shares). On April 10, 2018, we sent a mandatory conversion notice to all holders of our 3½% Convertible Notes, and all of our outstanding 3½% Convertible Notes will be converted into shares of our common stock effective April 17, 2018. If all of the outstanding 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 were to convert into shares of our common stock, up to an additional 16,743,372 shares could be issued at the current conversion rate for such notes.

The selling stockholders named below and their permitted transferees, pledgees, or other successors may from time to time offer the shares of our common stock offered by this Supplement No. 2 and the Prospectus. Except as otherwise indicated in the footnote below, the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares of our common stock. The percentage of our shares before and after the offering are based on 402,140,074 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2018, plus, for each selling stockholder to the extent not included in the foregoing, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 3½% Convertible Notes held by that selling stockholder.
