million principal amount of its outstanding 4.25% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the “4.25% Convertible Notes”) and $250.0

transactions with a limited number of holders of the Existing Notes (the “Holders”) for an aggregate repurchase price in
cash of approximately $180.5 million for the 4.25% Convertible Notes and approximately $433.7 million for the 2.375% Convertible Notes
