• Proceeds to Repurchase Convertible Notes

  Net proceeds of $1.47 billion, plus cash on hand, will repurchase ~$471.83 million principal of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 for $1.474 billion, eliminating a large potential dilution source.

• Dilution Impact

  The offering adds approximately 12% to the outstanding share count, but the concurrent note repurchase removes the overhang from those convertibles, which could have converted into a similar number of shares.

• Cross-Conditional Transaction

  The stock offering and note repurchase are contingent on each other; both must close for either to proceed, ensuring the capital raise directly funds the debt retirement.

Terms of the registered direct offering are now final: 12.5 million shares priced at $117.54, a slim 1.8% discount to the last sale. The $1.47 billion in net proceeds, together with cash on hand, will repurchase roughly $472 million principal of the 2030 convertible notes for $1.47 billion. Because the two legs are cross-conditional, the transaction effectively extinguishes a large convertible overhang, reducing potential future dilution, even as the offering itself adds about 12% to the share count. Pricing near market signals solid institutional demand, and using the proceeds to eliminate equity-linked debt is a net positive for existing shareholders despite the immediate dilution.
