The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

  •   If the stock price is between two stock prices in the table above or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

  •   If the stock price is greater than $50.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

 

  •   If the stock price is less than $6.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 166.6666 shares of common stock of the Issuer, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of notes—Conversion rights—Conversion rate adjustments” in the Convertible Notes Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

(1) Reflects the full repayment of $226 million of our borrowings under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. We may choose to use $226 million of the net proceeds of the Common Stock Offering, together with the net proceeds of the Convertible Notes Offering, to repay such borrowings under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement or instead use such amount to repurchase additional Senior Notes, as described in footnote (3) below.
(2) Reflects adoption of FASB ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” beginning in the first quarter of 2016.
(3) Reflects an assumed repayment of $226 million of our borrowings under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and our offer to purchase up to $1,035 million maximum aggregate total consideration of our existing Senior Notes pursuant to the concurrent tender offers described in “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Purchase of Senior Notes” in the preliminary prospectus supplement for each of the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering. The notes will be prioritized in the following order, to the extent holders validly tender their notes: 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019, 7.75% Senior Notes due 2020, 7.50% Senior Notes due 2022 and 7.00% Senior Notes due 2024. We cannot assure you which Senior Note holders will tender their notes. We have the option, but not the obligation, to call any and all of the untendered 7.75% Senior Notes due 2020 after the completion of the Tender Offer with any remaining net proceeds.
(4) In accordance with ASC 470-20, convertible debt that may be wholly or partially settled in cash is required to be separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest rate. Upon issuance, a debt discount is recognized as a decrease in debt and an increase in equity. The debt component will accrete up to the principal amount ($700 million for the Convertible Notes assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option) over the expected term of the debt. ASC 470-20 does not affect the actual amount that we are required to repay, and the amount shown in the table above for Convertible Notes is the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes and does not reflect the debt discount that we will be required to recognize in our consolidated balance sheet.
(5) Total debt reflects net book value of short-term and long-term debt.
(6) The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering set forth above excludes:

 

  •   22.4 million shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of June 25, 2016 at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.14 per share;

 

  •   51.5 million shares of our common stock issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of June 25, 2016;

 

  •   55.0 million shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans as of June 25, 2016;

 

  •   75.0 million shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants as of August 30, 2016, with an exercise price of $5.98 per share (50 million of which cannot be exercised before August 30, 2017); and

 

  •   The shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of our 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 offered in the Convertible Notes Offering.
