Convertible Senior Notes
In February 2015, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $82.5 million of convertible senior notes due in 2035 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement. The Convertible Notes were issued at par, pay interest semi-annually in arrears at an annual rate of 2.75% and mature on February 15, 2035, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes. In certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, the Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 53.9084 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $18.55 per share), subject to adjustment. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2034, only if one or more of the following conditions has been satisfied: 1) during any calendar quarter beginning after March 31, 2015 if the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the respective conversion price per share during a defined period at the end of the previous quarter, 2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day, 3) if specified corporate transactions occur, or 4) if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date. On or after November 15, 2034, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or a portion of its Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
On February 20, 2022, February 20, 2025 and February 20, 2030 and if the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”)), subject to certain conditions, a holder will have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of its Convertible Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture) or if the Company delivers a redemption notice prior to February 20, 2022, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or redemption notice, as the case may be.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to February 20, 2019. The Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes at any time (i) on or after February 20, 2019 if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides written notice of redemption and (ii) on or after February 20, 2022 regardless of the sale price condition described in clause (i), in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon conversion of any Convertible Note, the Company shall pay or deliver to the converting Holder, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election.
The Company separated the notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component of $69.5 million was calculated by measuring the fair value of similar liabilities that do not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component was calculated to be $13.0 million, and represents the conversion option which was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the principal amount of the notes. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the direct transaction costs (the “issuance costs”) related to the Convertible Notes, the Company allocated the total amount of issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. The Company recorded issuance costs of $1.8 million and $0.3 million to the liability and equity components, respectively. Issuance costs, including fees paid to the initial purchasers who acted as intermediaries in the placement of the Convertible Notes, attributable to the liability component are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt instrument and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component and included within Additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest cost related to the amortization expense of the issuance costs associated with the liability component was not material for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the period from February 2015 to December 31, 2015. The Convertible Notes do not have any financial covenants requirements the Company needs to comply.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding principal on the Convertible Notes was $82.5 million, and the carrying amount of the liability component, net of the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount associated with the equity component, was $69.0 million and $68.3 million, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the period from February 2015 through December 31, 2015 was 4.2% and 3.7%, respectively. Interest costs recognized relating to the contractual interest coupon was $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the period February 2015 through December 31, 2015, respectively. Amortization of the discount on the liability component was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the period from February 2015 through December 31, 2015, respectively.
Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company became non-compliant with its obligations in the Indenture relating to the delivery to the Indenture trustee of the Company’s 2016 annual financial statements and interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017. As a result, immediately after the occurrence of the Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) relating to the Company’s failure to timely deliver each of its 2016 annual financial statements and March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017 interim financial statements, as applicable, and through such time as the noncompliance is continuing, the Company will incur additional interest on the Convertible Notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding for each day during the first 90 days after the occurrence of each Event of Default and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding from the 91st day until the 180th day following the occurrence of each such Event of Default. However, the maximum additional interest is capped at 0.50% per annum irrespective of how many Events of Default are in existence at any time for the Company’s failure to deliver any required financial statements. On the 181st day after each Event of Default (such 181st date, the “Notes Acceleration Date”), the Convertible Notes will be immediately due and payable if the noncompliance is not cured or waived by such date and the noteholders elect to so accelerate. For the interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2017, the Notes Acceleration Date will occur in February 2018 and May 2018, respectively. For the interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Notes Acceleration Date will occur in July 2018, assuming that the trustee delivers its notice of default relating thereto to the Company in mid-November 2017. The Company cured the Event of Default relating to the delivery of the 2016 annual financial statements upon filing this Form 10-K.
