Use of Proceeds:

The Issuer estimates that the proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $120.2 million (or $138.3 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), after deducting fees and estimated expenses. In connection with the pricing of the Offering, the Issuer entered into a convertible note hedge transaction with Nomura Global Financial Products Inc. (“NGFP”), an affiliate of Nomura Securities International, Inc. The Issuer also entered into a warrant transaction with NGFP. The Issuer intends to use approximately $13.6 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transaction (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to the Issuer from the sale of the warrant transaction). The Issuer intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering (i) to research, develop, and commercialize its drug products, (ii) to acquire complementary businesses, products and technologies that it may identify from time to time and (iii) for other working capital and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

 

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, the Issuer expects to sell additional warrants to NGFP and use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes, together with the proceeds from the additional warrants, to enter into an additional convertible note hedge transaction with NGFP and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

______________

(1) Plus accrued interest, if any, from the Settlement Date. 

   

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions:

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Issuer entered into a convertible note hedge transaction with NGFP. The Issuer also entered into a warrant transaction with NGFP. The convertible note hedge transaction is expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Issuer’s common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments it is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be. However, the warrant transaction could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of the Issuer’s common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, the Issuer expects to enter into an additional convertible note hedge transaction and an additional warrant transaction with NGFP.

 

In connection with establishing its initial hedge of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, NGFP or an affiliate thereof expects to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Issuer’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Issuer’s common stock or the Notes at that time.

 

In addition, NGFP or an affiliate thereof may modify its hedge position by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Issuer’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling the Issuer’s common stock or other securities of the Issuer in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and is likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Issuer’s common stock or the Notes, which could affect a holder’s ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that a holder will receive upon conversion of the Notes.

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 above, 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 $205.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

 

·If the stock price is less than $53.45 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), 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 18.7091 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, 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 Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
