Material Changes
The primary material change reported is an adjustment to the conversion rate of the 2024 Convertible Senior Notes. On September 21, 2020, the Company notified holders that the conversion rate was adjusted from 44.9767 to 48.4315 shares per $1,000 principal amount. This adjustment was triggered by anti-dilution provisions following the distribution of subscription rights to purchase Class C Common Shares on September 10, 2020. Consequently, the number of shares covered by the associated Capped Call Transactions also increased.
