2027 Convertible Notes—In May 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of $115.0 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2027 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2027 Notes consisted of $100.0 million initial placement and an over-allotment option that provided the initial purchasers of the 2027 Notes with the option to purchase an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, which was fully exercised. The 2027 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated May 13, 2022. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Notes were $111.4 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. The issuance costs are treated as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2027 Notes.

The 2027 Notes are senior unsecured obligations. The 2027 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2022. The 2027 Notes will mature on May 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Before November 15, 2026, holders of the 2027 Notes will have the right to convert their 2027 Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events and during specified periods, including:

if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

if during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s Class A common stock; or

if the Company calls the 2027 Notes for redemption.

From and after November 15, 2026, holders of the 2027 Notes may convert their 2027 Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering cash and, if applicable, shares of its Class A common stock.

The initial conversion rate is 601.5038 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $1.66 per share of Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2027 Notes, at the Company’s option, on or after May 20, 2025, and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and the last reported sales price of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice.

However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2027 Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any 2027 Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that 2027 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2027 Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, holders of the 2027 Notes may require the Company to repurchase their 2027 Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Class A common stock.

The 2027 Notes are valued as a single liability measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives.
