The estimated fair value is classified as Level 2 financial instrument and was determined based on the quoted prices of the instrument in an over-the-counter market.
(2)
The fair value of the 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2035 is exclusive of the conversion feature therein, which was originally allocated for reporting purposes at $13.0 million, and is included in the consolidated balance sheets within “Additional paid-in capital” (see Note 13. Common Stock, Stock-Based Awards and Warrants).
(3)
The estimated fair value is considered to approximate carrying value given the short-term maturity and is classified as Level 3 financial instruments.
(4)
The principal amount outstanding of the 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2035 as set forth in the foregoing table was $82.5 million as of December 31, 2017, and is not the carrying amount of this indebtedness (i.e., outstanding principal amount net of debt issuance costs and discount associated with the equity component). The carrying value of this indebtedness as of December 31, 2017 was $69.7 million.
