- Settlement: Upon conversion, the Company may elect to pay cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total cash proceeds received after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions (not explicitly stated in this text).
- Confirm the impact of the $201.25 million debt issuance on the company's current debt-to-equity ratio and interest coverage.
- Review the specific "make-whole" fundamental change provisions in the full Indenture (Exhibit 4.1) to understand potential dilution or cash outflows in the event of a merger or acquisition.
- Monitor the stock price relative to the $46.51 conversion price to assess the likelihood of early conversion or redemption.
