Note 8 Convertible Notes

On March 9, 2026, the Company completed a private offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2031 Notes include $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional notes. The 2031 Notes are general unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and do not bear regular interest. The 2031 Notes will mature on April 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted.

The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $193.4 million, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and before deducting offering expenses. The Company used approximately $17.3 million of the net proceeds to fund the cost of the Capped Call Transactions described below, approximately $70.5 million to repurchase 334,600 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in privately negotiated transactions effected through J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as agent, and the remaining net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including additional share repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

Conversion Rights

The 2031 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 3.5825 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $279.13 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders may convert their 2031 Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2031, only under the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2026, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter (the “Sale Price Condition”);
during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day measurement period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share and the conversion rate on each such trading day (the “Trading Price Condition”);
if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, with respect to the notes called for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
upon the occurrence of certain corporate events described in the indenture governing the 2031 Notes.

 

On or after January 1, 2031, holders may convert at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

 

Make-Whole Fundamental Change

The conversion rate may be increased for holders converting in connection with certain circumstances described in the indenture.

Settlement upon Conversion

Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted and pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount. The conversion value in excess of the

principal amount will be calculated based on the sum of the daily volume-weighted average prices during a 40 consecutive VWAP trading day observation period.

Optional Redemption

The Company may redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, for cash on or after April 6, 2029 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if (i) certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and (ii) the last reported sale price per share has been at least 130% of the then-effective conversion price for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period, including the trading day immediately preceding the date the Company provides the redemption notice.

Special Interest

The 2031 Notes do not bear regular interest. Special interest may accrue from time to time in certain circumstances as described in the indenture.

In accordance with ASC 470-20, as amended by ASU 2020-06, the Company accounts for the 2031 Notes as a single liability measured at amortized cost. No separate equity component was recognized. The embedded conversion feature was not bifurcated because it met the scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) as indexed to the Company’s own stock and equity-classified under ASC 815-40. The embedded special interest feature, while meeting the definition of a derivative requiring bifurcation, was assigned an insignificant fair value at inception due to the remote likelihood of the triggering event, and the Company will reassess the fair value at each reporting date.

The 2031 Notes were issued on March 9, 2026 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A. The Company has determined that the net carrying amount approximates fair value as of March 31, 2026. The fair value of the 2031 Notes is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on observable market data, including over-the-counter trade prices and dealer quotes. The Company did not elect the fair value option under ASC 825 for the 2031 Notes.

As of March 31, 2026, none of the conditions permitting early conversion of the 2031 Notes had been met. The Sale Price Condition cannot first be evaluated until after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2026. Accordingly, the 2031 Notes were classified as long-term debt.

The effective interest rate on the 2031 Notes is approximately 0.74%, reflecting the amortization of the initial purchasers' discount of $6.6 million and third-party debt issuance costs of approximately $0.7 million allocated to the notes using the relative fair value method. Because the 2031 Notes do not bear regular interest, interest expense recognized during the period consists entirely of the non-cash amortization of debt discount and issuance costs using the effective interest method over the term of the notes through maturity on April 1, 2031.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the 2031 Notes on March 4, 2026, and in connection with the exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional notes on March 5, 2026, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") with four financial institutions at a total cost of approximately $17.3 million, consisting of $15.1 million for the base capped call and $2.2 million for the additional capped call. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2031 Notes, approximately 716,500 shares of the Company's Class A common stock (representing 800,000 options, each with an initial option entitlement of 0.895625 shares), which corresponds to the number of shares initially underlying the 2031 Notes.

The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of approximately $279.13 per share (corresponding to the initial conversion price of the 2031 Notes) and an initial cap price of $421.34 per share, in each case subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Call Transactions are expected to reduce the potential economic dilution to the Company’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of

the 2031 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount, with such reduction and/or offset subject to the cap price. The Capped Call Transactions expire on April 1, 2031.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the option counterparties and are not part of the terms of the 2031 Notes. Holders of the 2031 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The Company determined that the Capped Call Transactions meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40 as they are (i) indexed to the Company’s own stock under the two-step indexation analysis in ASC 815-40-15 and (ii) meet the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40-25. Accordingly, the Capped Call Transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and are not remeasured on a recurring basis.

Issuance costs were allocated between the 2031 Notes and the Capped Call Transactions based on the relative fair value method. Issuance costs allocated to the 2031 Notes are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the notes and amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. Issuance costs allocated to the Capped Call Transactions are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
