- Company Redemption: The Company may redeem notes on or after December 10, 2026 (2029 Notes) and June 10, 2027 (2031 Notes), subject to specific share price thresholds (130% of the accreted conversion value).

Registration Rights: The Company agreed to file prospectus supplements within 30 days of settlement to register shares issuable upon conversion.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final settlement date and receipt of net proceeds (expected June 5, 2025).
- Review the full Indentures (Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5) for detailed definitions of "Fundamental Change" and redemption limitations.
- Monitor the Company's share price relative to the conversion thresholds ($51.45 initial; higher effective prices at maturity) to assess conversion likelihood.
- Confirm the filing of the required prospectus supplements for share registration within the 30-day window.
- Assess the impact of the accreted principal (up to 25% increase) on future liquidity and debt-to-equity ratios.
