default under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. A default under
|
the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a
|
default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may
|
result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
|
If the repayment of such other indebtedness were to be accelerated after
|
any applicable notice or grace periods, then we may not have sufficient
|
funds to repay that indebtedness and repurchase the 2026 Notes or make
|
cash payments upon their conversion, if any.
|
*The accounting method for the 2026 Notes could adversely affect our
|
reported financial condition and results.*
|
The accounting method for reflecting the 2026 Notes on our balance sheet
|
and reflecting the underlying shares of our Class A common stock in our
|
reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported
|
earnings and financial condition.
|
We recorded the 2026 Notes entirely as a liability on our balance sheet,
|
net of issuance costs. Additionally, the new guidance modifies the
|
treatment of convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash or
|
shares by requiring the use of the "f-converted"method. Under that
|
method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated
|
assuming that all the 2026 Notes were converted solely into shares of
|
Class A common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless
|
the result would be anti-dilutive. In addition, in the future, we may,
|
in our sole discretion, irrevocably elect to settle the conversion value
|
of the 2026 Notes in cash up to the principal amount being converted.
|
Following such an irrevocable election, if the conversion value of the
|
2026 Notes exceeds their principal amount for a reporting period, then
|
we will calculate our diluted earnings per share by assuming that all of
|
the 2026 Notes were converted at the beginning of the reporting period
|
and that we issued shares of our Class A common stock to settle the
|
excess, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the
|
if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share.
|
Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the 2026
|
Notes are satisfied, then, under certain conditions, we may be required
|
under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability
|
carrying value of the 2026 Notes as a current, rather than a long-term,
|
liability. This reclassification could be required even if no
|
noteholders convert their 2026 Notes and could materially reduce our
|
reported working capital.
|
*The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the
|
pricing of the 2026 Notes may affect the value of our Class A common
|
stock.*
|
In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, we entered into
|
privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain option
|
counterparties. The capped call transactions will cover, subject to
|
customary adjustments, the number of shares of Class A common stock
|
initially underlying the 2026 Notes. The capped call transactions are
|
expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our Class A common
|
stock upon conversion of the 2026 Notes or at our election (subject to
|
certain conditions) offset any cash payments we are required to
|
22
|
make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted 2026
|
Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a
|
cap.
|
We have been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial
|
hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or
|
their respective affiliates purchased shares of our Class A common stock
|
and/or entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our
|
Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of
|
the 2026 Notes.
|
In addition, we have been advised that the option counterparties or
|
their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering
|
into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our Class A common
|
stock and/or purchasing or selling our Class A common stock or other
|
securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the
|
pricing of the 2026 Notes and prior to the maturity of the 2026 Notes
|
(and are likely to do so on each exercise date of the capped call
|
transactions and in connection with any early termination event in
|
respect of the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause
|
or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our Class A
|
common stock.
|
*Provisions in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes could delay or
|
prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.*
|
Certain provisions in the 2026 Notes and the indenture governing the
|
2026 Notes could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult
|
or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental
|
change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes), then
|
noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their 2026
|
Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole
|
fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026
|
Notes), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion
|
rate. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the 2026
|
Notes and the indenture governing the 2026 Notes could increase the cost
|
of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us
|
or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that
|
noteholders or holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
|
