Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary and Risks:
- The Notes are subject to earlier repurchase or conversion.
- Conversion rates are subject to adjustment.
- Underwriters (Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Banc of America Securities LLC) and their affiliates have performed and may perform financial advisory and investment banking services for the Company, receiving customary fees.
- Certain underwriters or affiliates act as agents or lenders under the Company's credit facility.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the Indenture (Exhibit 4.1) and First Supplemental Indenture (Exhibit 4.2) for specific covenants and conversion adjustment mechanisms.
- Confirm the final number of shares sold by selling stockholders under the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 10.1).
- Review the Company's existing credit facility terms to understand the relationship with underwriters acting as lenders.
- Monitor the trading price of the Notes post-June 1, 2015, to assess potential contingent interest payments.
