Material Changes and Strategic Actions
The primary material change is the significant increase in long-term debt obligations and the establishment of a convertible instrument structure. The company has entered into a Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association. The offering was upsized from an initial $1.2 billion to $1.35 billion following the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

- Repurchase Obligation: Holders may require the Company to repurchase the Notes at 100% of principal plus accrued special interest if a "fundamental change" occurs.
- Events of Default: Includes failure to pay principal or interest, failure to convert upon exercise, bankruptcy, and cross-defaults on other indebtedness exceeding $100 million.
