- Over-Allotment Option: Underwriter granted an option to purchase up to an additional 2,640,000 shares within 30 days.
- Estimated Net Proceeds: Approximately $1.3 billion (base offering) or approximately $1.5 billion (if over-allotment is fully exercised), after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of an underwriting agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to raise capital. This represents a significant increase in the company's equity capital and cash liquidity upon closing, which is expected to occur on or about May 21, 2020.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
