The new notes were priced at 110.25% of par, plus accrued interest of approximately $1.56 per $1,000 principal amount from April 10, 2026, to May 12, 2026, and any additional accrued interest if the settlement occurs after that date.

The notes will mature on April 15, 2031, unless converted or repurchased earlier and will bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually.
Holders will be able to convert the notes prior to January 15, 2031, under specific conditions, with conversion available at any time thereafter. The initial conversion rate is set at 9.9615 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, correlating to a conversion price of approximately $100.39 per share. The notes will be redeemable by the Company under certain conditions starting from April 20, 2029.
The estimated net proceeds from the offering are projected to be around $216.3 million, which will be utilized for repurchasing shares and for general corporate purposes.
