Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Additional Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. They were sold in reliance on exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A. Consequently, these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption. The filing incorporates by reference the Indenture and form of Note for detailed terms.
