(7) | The conversion rate for the 2.500% Convertible Notes currently in effect is 59.6341 per $1,000 principal amount of 2.500% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $16.77 per share of the Issuer's common stock ("Common Stock"). With respect to one-half of the 2.500% Convertible Notes, the payment of the special dividend will be paid to holders in cash, on an as-converted basis, in lieu of an adjustment to the conversion rate, and with respect to the other half of the 2.500% Convertible Notes (the "Adjusted 2.500% Convertible Notes), the then current conversion rate will automatically adjust in connection with the payment of the special dividend as provided by the indenture governing such notes. Based on the current conversion rate of 59.6341, it is estimated that the automatic adjustment for the special dividend will result in a conversion rate of 118.9814, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $8.40 per share. |
