Purchase Agreement
On January 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as representatives (the "Representatives") of the
purchasers named therein (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers"), relating to
the Company's sale of $690.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Notes") to the Initial Purchasers in a
private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act") and for initial resale by the Initial
Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company relied
on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by
the Initial Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement. The total aggregate principal
amount of the Notes includes $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes
purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to their exercise in full of their
option to purchase additional Notes under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the
Company. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to
indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities under the
Securities Act. The Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities
Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or
an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Indenture
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of January 15, 2021
(the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as
trustee. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes
will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not
accrete. The Notes will mature on January 15, 2024 unless repurchased or
converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
The Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events
of default after which the Notes may be due and payable immediately. The
following events are considered "events of default," which may result in
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes:
(1)default by the Company in any payment of special interest on the Notes when
due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days;
(2)default by the Company in the payment of principal of any Note when due and
payable at its stated maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration
of acceleration or otherwise;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3)failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in
accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a holder's conversion right, and
such failure continues for a period of three business days;
(4)failure by the Company to give a fundamental change notice, notice of a
make-whole fundamental change or a notice of a specified corporate event at the
time and in the manner provided in the Indenture;
(5)failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under the Indenture
with respect to consolidation, merger or sale of assets of the Company;
(6)failure by the Company for a period of 60 days after written notice from the
trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding has been received to comply with any of its agreements under the
Notes or the Indenture;
(7)default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries as defined
under any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be
outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for
money borrowed in excess of $100,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) in
the aggregate of the Company and/or any such significant subsidiary, and such
default:
(i)results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior
to its stated maturity date, or
(ii)constitutes a failure to pay principal of any such indebtedness when due and
payable (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at its stated
maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or
otherwise, in each case, if not rescinded or annulled or cured or waived, or if
such indebtedness shall not have been paid or discharged, as the case may be,
for 30 days after receipt of written notice of such failure; or
(8)certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or
any of its significant subsidiaries occurs.
The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination
thereof, at the Company's election, at an initial conversion rate of 2.3796
shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equal
to an initial conversion price of approximately $420.24 per share of Common
Stock subject to adjustment. Prior to the close of business on the business day
immediately preceding October 15, 2023, such conversion is subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions set forth below.
Holders of the Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) are, under certain
circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in
the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the
Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus any accrued but
unpaid special interest.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their Notes prior to the
close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 15, 2023, in
multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:
•during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on April
30, 2021 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price
of Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during
a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last
trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal
to 130% of the conversion price of the Notes on each applicable trading day;
•during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day
period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for
each trading day of that ten day consecutive trading day period was less than
98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Common Stock and the
conversion rate of the Notes on such trading day; or
•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On or after October 15, 2023, until the close of business on the second
scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the
Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes at the applicable conversion
rate at any time, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the
holder.
A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference. The description of the Notes contained in this Form 8-K is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture.
Capped Call Transactions
On January 12, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the Notes, and on January
13, 2021, in connection with the full exercise by the Initial Purchasers of
their option to purchase additional Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the
"Capped Call Transactions") with one or more of the Initial Purchasers or their
respective affiliates and other financial institutions (the "Capped Call
Counterparties"). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of Common Stock that
initially underlie the Notes, including the Notes purchased pursuant to the
option to purchase additional Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected
generally to reduce or offset potential dilution to holders of the Common Stock
upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments that the
Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any
converted Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction and/or offset
subject to a cap based on the cap price.
In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the Capped Call
Transactions, the Capped Call Counterparties have advised the Company that they
and/or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative
transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or purchase Common Stock
concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. This activity
could contribute to the expected increase in the market price of the Common
Stock or the Notes concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the
Notes.
In addition, the Capped Call Counterparties and/or their respective affiliates
may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various
derivatives with respect to the Common Stock and/or purchasing or selling Common
Stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions
following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and
are likely to do so on each exercise date for the Capped Call Transactions,
which are expected to occur during the 30 trading day period beginning on the
31st scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the Notes). This
activity could also cause or prevent an increase or a decrease in the market
price of the Common Stock or the Notes, which could affect noteholders' ability
to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any
observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the
amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon
conversion of such Notes.
The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the
Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the
Notes, and will not affect any holder's rights under the Notes. Holders of the
Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.
The form of the capped call transaction confirmation (the "Capped Call
Confirmation") is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by
reference. The description of the Capped Call Confirmation contained in this
Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.1.
Repurchase Transactions
On January 15, 2021, the Company entered into exchange agreements (the "Exchange
Agreements") with certain holders of its outstanding 2023 Notes pursuant to
which the Company repurchased $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of the
2023 Notes for aggregate consideration of approximately $460.0 million in cash
and approximately 4.7 million shares of Common Stock (the "Exchange Shares" and
such transactions, the "Repurchase Transactions"). The Exchange Shares are being
offered in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Exchange Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The form of Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is
incorporated by reference. The description of the Exchange Agreements contained
in this Form 8-K are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.2.
On January 15, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing
of its offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit
99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
