5 terms

aggregate principal amount financial

"$34,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes"

The aggregate principal amount is the total amount of money borrowed through a bond or loan that the borrower promises to repay. It’s like the original price tag on a loan or bond, showing how much money is involved in the deal. This number matters because it indicates the size of the debt and helps investors understand the scale of the borrowing.

accrued and unpaid interest financial

"plus accrued and unpaid interest otherwise payable"

Accrued and unpaid interest is the interest that has built up on a loan or debt but hasn't been paid yet. It's like owing your friend money for a favor over time—you're expected to pay it later, even though you haven't paid it yet. This matters because it shows how much you owe beyond the original amount borrowed.

holders of record financial

"holders of record at the close of business"

Names listed on a company’s official register at a specific cut-off date who are legally entitled to receive dividends, vote on corporate matters, or participate in other shareholder actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: only those on the list at the snapshot time get the invitation or benefits, so investors watch the record date to know whether they will receive payouts or voting rights for a given corporate action.

indenture technical

"indenture governing the Notes"

An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.

delisted technical

"the Notes will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market"

Delisted means a company's shares have been removed from a public stock exchange and are no longer traded on that venue. For investors this matters because it reduces ease of buying or selling the stock, cuts off regular price discovery and exchange oversight, and can signal regulatory or financial problems; it's like a product being pulled from a supermarket shelf and only available through harder-to-find channels.
