Securities Offered: | 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”). |
Aggregate Principal Amount Offered: | $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes (or $316,250,000 aggregate principal amount if the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $41,250,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is exercised in full). |
Maturity Date: | January 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. |

Trade Date: | December 6, 2017. |
Settlement Date: | December 19, 2017. It is expected that delivery of the Convertible Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about December 19, 2017, which is the 9th business day following the Trade Date (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T +9”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Convertible Notes on the Trade Date or the next six succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Convertible Notes initially will settle in T+9, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Convertible Notes who wish to trade the Convertible Notes prior to the Settlement Date should consult their own advisors. |
