This 424B7 filing finalizes the pricing and terms of the secondary offering initiated on January 27, 2026, providing definitive details for a significant capital event. The offering involves the sale of 50 million shares by major institutional investors, Carlyle and GIC, at $31.00 per share, totaling $1.55 billion. This represents a substantial reduction in their ownership stake, with Carlyle's voting power decreasing from 45.6% to 33.2%. While the company is concurrently repurchasing 1.64 million shares at a slightly lower price, the primary market impact is the large block of shares being sold by long-term holders, which can create an overhang on the stock. This transaction follows the S-3ASR registration filed yesterday, which registered 187.1 million shares for resale by these stockholders.
