This 424B5 prospectus supplement finalizes the terms and pricing of the $750 million senior notes offering, following the preliminary disclosures on February 10, 2026. The successful completion of this substantial debt offering, representing approximately 7.95% of the company's market capitalization, is a critical financing event. While the 5.25% interest rate on the new notes is higher than the rates on the existing notes being refinanced (3.00% to 4.00%), indicating an increased cost of debt, the capital raise provides essential liquidity and addresses debt maturities. This is particularly important given the company's recent report of a significant net loss and a 45% dividend cut on January 26, 2026, highlighting the necessity of this financing for maintaining financial stability and managing its debt profile.
