•
The new conversion rate for the 2019 Notes will be 10.1110 shares of the Company’s common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2019 Notes, representing an increase of the prior conversion rate of 0.0570 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2019 Notes.
•
The new conversion rate for the 2022 Notes will be 25.4799 shares of the Company’s common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Notes, representing an increase of the prior conversion rate of 0.1437 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Notes. 
The Company is adjusting the conversion rates due to the payment of a previously announced cash dividend of $0.01 per common share, payable on or around March 28, 2019 to all shareholders as of March 13, 2019 (the “Record Date”).
The adjustments to the conversion rates were made pursuant to section 14.04(d) of the indentures for the 2019 Notes and 2022 Notes, which applies to cash dividends or distributions made by the Company.

where,

CR0 =
the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR1 =
the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0 =
the closing sale price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date (March 12, 2019) for such dividend or distribution; and
