Executive Overview

ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified bio-pharmaceutical company serving patients in need by developing, manufacturing, and marketing high quality branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals, including for diseases with high unmet medical need.

Our team is focused on delivering sustainable growth by scaling up our Rare Disease business through the successful launch of our lead asset, Cortrophin Gel, strengthening our generics business with enhanced development capability, innovation in established brands and leveraging our North American manufacturing capabilities.

We own and operate three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, of which two are located in Baudette, Minnesota, and one is located in East Windsor, New Jersey, are together capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as semi-solids, liquids and topicals, controlled substances, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment.

and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified bio-pharmaceutical company committed to its mission of “Serving Patients, Improving Lives” by developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative and high quality therapeutics.

On September 16, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Alimera Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Alimera and ANIP Merger Sub INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Alimera, with Alimera surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

In connection with the Merger, the Company added a growing and durable franchise, ILUVIEN® (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.19 mg, which has received marketing authorization and reimbursement in the United States (“U.S.”) and 24 countries for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (“DME”) and YUTIQ® (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.18 mg, available in the U.S.

for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (“NIU-PS”).

In connection with the acquisition of Alimera, the Company has assessed its strategic goals and aligned its operational initiatives into two reportable segments, and the discussion of the historical results of operations below has been revised, as applicable, to be consistent with the presentation of the revised reportable segments (see Note 19 "Segment Reporting in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).

Our three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, of which two are located in Baudette, Minnesota, and one is located in East Windsor, New Jersey, are together capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as semi-solids, liquids and topicals, controlled substances, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment.

We ceased operations at our subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023.

This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) in November 2021.

We have fully completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.-based manufacturing sites.

On November 6, 2023, ANI Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with a potential buyer for the sale of the Oakville, Ontario manufacturing facility, however, the agreement was subsequently terminated in December 2023 by mutual agreement.

In February 2024, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of the Oakville site, for a purchase price of 19.2 million Canadian Dollars, or approximately $ 14.2 million US Dollars, based on the current exchange rate.

The sale is expected to close in March 2024 ( see Note 19.

Subsequent Events, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Re port on Form 10-K).

We have fully completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.

based manufacturing sites.

In February 2024, our Canadian subsidiary entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of the Oakville site, for a purchase price of $19.2 million Canadian Dollars, or approximately $14.2 million, based on the current exchange rate.

The sale closed on March 28, 2024 (see Note 4 "Restructuring Canada Operations" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).

On August 13, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, (the "New Credit Agreement") which provides for aggregate principal commitments consisting of (i) a senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million, and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $75.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit.

On September 16, 2024, ANI drew the full $325.0 million of New Credit Agreement principal, with proceeds used to finance the acquisition of Alimera, including fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition.

As of December 31, 2024, the revolving credit facility remains undrawn, and $75.0 million is available for borrowing, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The New Credit Agreement and the revolving credit facility mature on September 16, 2029.

Ta b l e of Contents

On August 13, 2024, the Company completed an offering of $316.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”).

The Notes are due September 1, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted.

After deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions of approximately $9.5 million, but before deducting the Company’s offering expenses, the net proceeds to the Company from the offering of the Notes was approximately $306.8 million.

In connection with the offering of Notes, on August 7, 2024 and August 8, 2024, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (“Capped Calls”).

After payment of the cost of entering into the Capped Calls transactions, of approximately $40.6 million, the Company used the remainder of the net proceeds from the Notes offering, together with cash on hand, to repay the Company’s existing senior secured credit agreement with Truist Bank, dated as of November 19, 2021.

In May 2023, through a public offering, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 2,183,545 shares of ANI common stock, resulting in net proceeds after issuance costs of $80.6 million.

Our objective is to build a sustainable and growing biopharmaceutical company serving patients in need and creating long-term value for our investors.

Our growth strategy is driven by the following key growth drivers:

Building a successful Rare Disease platform

We have spent significant time, effort and resources in establishing our Rare Disease platform.

We acquired the NDAs for Cortrophin Gel and Cortrophin-Zinc in January 2016 and executed long-term supply agreements with a supplier of our primary raw material for corticotrophin API, a supplier of corticotrophin API with whom we have advanced the manufacture of commercial scale batches of API, and a Cortrophin Gel fill/finish contract manufacturer.

During the second quarter of 2021, we submitted a Supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) to the FDA.

On October 29, 2021, the FDA approved the Company’s sNDA for Purified Cortrophin Gel (Repository Corticotropin Injection USP) for the treatment of certain chronic autoimmune disorders, including acute exacerbations of multiple sclerosis (“MS”) and rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”), in addition to excess urinary protein due to nephrotic syndrome.

Our overall strategy is enabled by an empowered, collaborative, and purposeful team with high performance-orienta tion that seeks to deliver on our purpose of “Servin g Patients, Improving Lives.”

Our strategy is driven by the following key growth drivers:

Building a successful Rare Disease and Brands Segment

We have spent significant time, effort and resources in establishing and expanding our Rare Disease and Brands segment which consists of our Rare Disease and Brands portfolio of products.

We plan to continue to expand our Rare Disease business, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition.

While we execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe complement our existing portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with the opportunity to expand our existing capabilities.

The Brands portion of the segment is comprised of various branded products.

The acquisition of Alimera is anticipated to strengthen our Rare Disease business and expand our footprint beyond the U.S.

with the addition of Alimera’s direct marketing operations located in Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Ireland, as well as its partnerships in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

ILUVIEN and YUTIQ are a durable franchise with high barriers to genericization which the Company believes have a clear role for patients in need of alternative therapeutic options.

ANI sees the potential to unlock significant additional growth for the ILUVIEN and YUTIQ franchise through commercial synergies and execution.

Purified Cortrophin ® Gel

We acquired the NDAs for Purified Cortrophin® Gel (Repository Corticotropin Injection USP) (“Cortrophin Gel”) and Cortrophin-Zinc TM in January 2016 and executed long-term supply agreements with a supplier of our primary raw material for corticotrophin API, a supplier of corticotrophin API with whom we have advanced the manufacture of commercial scale batches of API, and a Cortrophin Gel fill/finish contract manufacturer.

On October 29, 2021, the FDA approved the Company’s Supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") for Cortrophin Gel for the treatment of certain chronic autoimmune disorders, including acute exacerbations of multiple sclerosis (“MS”) and rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”), in addition to excess urinary protein due to nephrotic syndrome.

Cortrophin Gel is an adrenocorticotropic hormone (“ACTH”), also known as purified corticotropin.

During 2021 and 2022, we invested significantly in leadership, expertise and infrastructure in the areas of commercialization of rare disease therapies and developed a launch strategy and commercial plan for this product.

During this timeframe, we hired a significant number of new employees and assembled and trained our Rare Disease field force.

On January 24, 2022, we announced the commercial launch of Cortrophin Gel in the U.S as our foundational Rare Disease asset.

On January 24, 2022, we announced the commercial launch of Cortrophin Gel in the U.S.

as our foundational Rare Disease asset.

Throughout 2023 and 2024, we continued to build and invest in our infrastructure to support growth in new areas of opportunity, such as pulmonology, ophthalmology, and gout in the ACTH market.

On October 2, 2023, we announced FDA approval and commercial availability of a 1-mLvial of Cortrophin Gel, appropriate for adjunctive treatment of certain patients with acute gouty arthritis flares.

As a result of the build out of our Rare Disease team, our expenditures in support of these efforts were significantly higher in 2022 as compared to the prior year, and we continued to invest behind Cortrophin Gel and our Rare Disease platform in 2023.

We plan to continue to expand our rare disease business, through a combination of organic growth, as described above, and acquisition.

While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe complement our existing portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with the opportunity to expand our existing capabilities.

Strengthening our Generics, Established Brands, and Other segment through continued investment in our generic research and development capability and increased focus on niche opportunities

During the first quarter of 2024, ANI launched a targeted ophthalmology-focused sales force for Cortrophin Gel.

The team has continued to gain momentum in ophthalmology, driving significant growth in the number of new patient starts during 2024.

Importantly, the addition of Alimera expands the reach of the ophthalmology sales team and we believe there will be significant overlap between high potential prescribers of Cortrophin Gel, ILUVIEN, and YUTIQ.

ILUVIEN and YUTIQ

ILUVIEN (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.19 mg, was developed in the U.S.

and internationally for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (“DME”), a leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness, and certain international markets for chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (“NIU-PS”).

We acquired exclusive commercialization rights to YUTIQ (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.18 mg, in May 2023 from EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

(“EyePoint”) for the treatment and prevention of NIU-PS worldwide except for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, (known as ILUVIEN in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and certain Asian countries including China.

ILUVIEN and YUTIQ are state-of-the-art sustained release intravitreal implants that respectively help patients maintain vision longer and reduce disease recurrence.

ILUVIEN is being evaluated as baseline therapy in naïve or near naïve patients with early DME in combination with the current standard of care, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (“VEGF”) therapy in the NEW DAY clinical trial .

YUTIQ is being further studied in the SYNCHRONICITY Clinical Trial, a prospective, open-label clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of YUTIQ for the treatment and prevention of chronic NIU-PS and related intraocular inflammation.

Both ILUVIEN and YUTIQ treat patients by delivering a continuous microdose of the corticosteroid fluocinolone acetonide (“FAc”) in the eye, for up to 36 months.

ILUVIEN was developed internally and initially to treat DME, a disease of the retina that affects individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and can lead to severe vision loss and blindness.

ILUVIEN is sold to treat DME only in the U.S.

YUTIQ is sold to treat NIU-PS only in the U.S.

In certain European and Middle Eastern countries, ILUVIEN is approved and commercialized to treat DME and to prevent relapse in recurrent NIU-PS, an inflammatory disease of the uveal tract, which is comprised of the iris, ciliary body and choroid, that can lead to severe vision loss and blindness.

We also have rights to commercialize ILUVIEN for NIU-PS in Africa.

ILUVIEN and YUTIQ are both intravitreal implants that are inserted into the back of the patient’s eye in non-surgical procedures employing devices with 25-gauge needles, which allow for a self-sealing wounds.

“Intravitreal” refers to the space inside the eye behind the lens that contains the jelly-like substance called vitreous.

The implants, which are non-bioerodible, provide consistent delivery as a result of their constant surface area, permitting elution of FAc to the vitreous.

We call this CONTINUOUS MICRODOSING™.

This delivery mechanism provides lower daily and aggregate exposure to corticosteroids than any other intraocular dosage forms currently available, which we believe mitigates the typical risks associated with corticosteroid therapy.

CONTINUOUS MICRODOSING delivery makes ILUVIEN and YUTIQ the only approved drug therapies for DME and NIU-PS that are designed to deliver consistent daily therapeutic levels of corticosteroid and reduce the recurrence of DME and uveitis for up to three years.

Other therapies that physicians currently use to treat DME, such as anti-VEGF treatments and other corticosteroids, are acute (short-acting) therapies that provide a higher initial daily dose but then rapidly decline, requiring frequent reinjection by the physician to maintain an effective dose or reestablish the therapeutic effect after the disease has recurred.

FAc is a non-proprietary corticosteroid and the active compound in ILUVIEN (0.19mg) and YUTIQ (0.18mg).

We believe that corticosteroids provide the best option in the treatment of DME and NIU-PS because they reduce the inflammatory aspects of both diseases.

ILUVIEN and YUTIQ deliver continuous daily sub-microgram levels of FAc in in vivo release kinetic studies for up to 36 months.

ILUVIEN and YUTIQ are the only single injection therapies available to treat retinal diseases consistently every day for up to three years, which may allow patients to see better, longer, with fewer injections.

We have grown our brands portfolio of products through acquisition.

We have acquired the NDAs for and market Atacand, Atacand HCT, Arimidex, Casodex, Lithobid, Vancocin, Inderal LA, Inderal XL, InnoPran XL, Oxistat, and Veregen.

We are innovating in our go-to-market strategy through creative partnerships and a sales force for these products.

Strengthening our Generics and Other segment through continued investment in our generic research and development capability and increased focus on niche opportunities

We have grown our generics business through a combination of market share gains on existing products and new product launches.

We have also successfully acquired numerous ANDAs through business and asset acquisitions.

Our most recent business acquisition was Novitium, including its portfolio of commercial and pipeline generic products, manufacturing and development facilities and expert workforce.

Our most recent business acquisition in the Generics and Other segment was the acquisition of Novitium in 2021, which included its portfolio of commercial and pipeline generic products, manufacturing and development facilities and expert workforce.

The Novitium acquisition significantly increased our generic pharmaceutical research and development and manufacturing capabiliti es.

We have begun to increase our focus on niche lower competition opportunities such as injectables, Paragraph IV, and competitive generic therapy (“CGT”) designation filings.

Ta b l e of Contents

Additionally, we will continue to seek opportunities to enhance our capab ilities through strategic partnerships and acquisitions of assets and businesses.

D uring 2023, we acquired two ANDAs and one pipeline product from the Chapter 7 Trustee for the estates of Akorn Holding Company and certain of its affiliates, acquired an ANDA and registered patents and pending patent applications from Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company, and acquired additional ANDAs and product rights for two products in the second half of 2023.

During 2022, we completed an asset acquisition of four ANDAs from Oakrum Pharma, including two that were co mmercial at the time of acquisition.

During the second quarter of 2023, we acquired two ANDAs and one pipeline product from the Chapter 7 Trustee for the estates of Akorn Holding Company and certain of its affiliates.

Acquisition of Alimera Sciences, Inc.

On September 16, 2024, the Company completed our previously announced merger with Alimera (the “Closing”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Alimera (the “Alimera Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time including each Alimera RSA, Alimera PSU, Alimera RSU, and Alimera Warrant (as defined below), but excluding any treasury shares or shares owned by the Company, Merger Subs or any other subsidiary of the Company or Alimera), was canceled and ceased to exist and was converted into the right to receive (i) $5.50 in cash (“Closing Cash Consideration”), and (ii) one contingent value right (a “CVR”), which represents the right to receive the milestone payments (as defined below) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the CVR Agreement entered into on September 16, 2024 (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).

The Company also repaid $72.5 million of Alimera debt.

Each CVR entitles the holder to receive milestone payments for 2026 and 2027.

The milestone payments for each CVR equals the product (rounded to the nearest 1/100 of $0.01) of $0.25 multiplied by a fraction (which is no case will exceed one), and (i) for 2026, equals the amount, if any, by which the 2026 Net Revenue exceeds $140.0 million, divided by $10.0 million (subject to adjustment for the exercise price of eligible options), and (ii) for 2027, equals the amount, if any, by which the 2027 Net Revenue exceeds $160.0 million, divided by $15.0 million (subject to adjustment for the exercise price of applicable Alimera Options).

Ta b l e of Contents

In addition to the amounts payable to the holders thereof in connection with the Closing, all of the outstanding awards of restricted stock with respect to shares of Alimera Common Stock (each, an “Alimera RSA”), each Alimera Performance Stock Unit (“Alimera PSU”), each Alimera Restricted Stock Unit (“Alimera RSU”) and each Alimera Warrant that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive one (1) CVR per share of Alimera Common Stock then underlying the applicable instrument.

Each stock option previously granted by Alimera to purchase Alimera Common Stock (each, an “Alimera Option”) that was outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time and which had a per share exercise price that was less than the Closing Cash Consideration was, in addition to the amounts payable to the holders thereof in connection with the Closing, automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive one (1) CVR per share of Alimera Common Stock then underlying such Alimera Option.

The primary means of competition among generic manufacturers are pricing, contract terms, service levels, and reliability.

Increased competition generally results in decreased average selling prices of generic and brand products over time.

Increased competition generally results in decreased average selling prices of generic and brands products over time.

In addition, due to strategic partnerships between wholesalers and pharmacy chains, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increases in net sales to the wholesalers, with corresponding decreases in net sales to the pharmacy chains.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $486.8 million compared to $316.4 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $170.4 million, or 53.9%, primarily as a result of the following factors:

• Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $269.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 28.2% compared to $210.1 million for the same period in 2022, driven by increased volumes on the base business, increased volumes from the inclusion of 2022 launches in 2023 and 2023 new product launches.

From a product perspective, the increase was principally driven by revenues from year over year increases in products such as Acebutolol, Colestipol, Digoxin, Famotidine, Fluoxetine, Levocarnitine, Mixed Amphetamine Salts Extended Release, Misoprostol, Nitrofurantoin, Pyrazinamide, Thyroid, Tolterodine, Tranexamic Acid, Trimethorpim, and various other products tempered by a decrease in revenues of Cholestyramine, Fenofibrate, Mesalamine, Nicardipine, Oxybutynin Chloride, Paliperidone Extended Release, and Prazosin, among others.

• Net revenues for branded pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services were $105.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 63.0% compared to $64.6 million for the same period in 2022, driven by a net increase in volume.

• Net revenues of rare disease pharmaceutical products, which consists entirely of sales of Purified Cortrophin Gel, were $112.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 , which represents an increase of $70.4 million from $41.7 million for the sam e period in 2022 .

This increase was driven by increased volume in this second year of launch (product was launched in late January 2022).

In addition to the above, within our Generic, established brand, and other segment in the current year period, we were successful in supplying incremental volume in markets that were experiencing supply chain disruptions for competing products.

Generally, when opportunities for volume and revenue upside related to our products arise in the marketplace, there is no assurance as to how long these favorable market conditions may persist.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $614.4 million compared to $486.8 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $127.6 million, or 26.2%, primarily as a result of the following:

• Net revenues from Rare Disease and Brands, includes rare disease and brands portfolio of pharmaceutical products was $294.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $96.8 million, compared to $197.5 million, for the same period in 2023.

• Net revenues for rare disease pharmaceutical products, include Cortrophin Gel and a full quarter contribution from ILUVIEN and YUTIQ, were $229.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $117.5 million from $112.1 million for the same period in 2023.

This increase was driven by increased volume in this third year of launch of Cortrophin Gel (product was launched in late January 2022) from overall ACTH market growth and share growth, and a full quarter of sales from ILUVIEN and YUTIQ, as a result of the acquisition of Alimera on September 16, 2024.

• Net revenues for brands portfolio of pharmaceutical products were $64.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $20.6 million compared to $85.4 million for the same period in 2023, driven by a net decrease in volume.

During portions of the prior year and the first quarter and portions of the fourth quarter of 2024, we were successful in supplying incremental volume in markets that were experiencing supply chain disruptions for competing products.

This incremental volume was not a significant factor in the second and third quarter of 2024.

Incremental volume achieved toward the end of 2024 continued into the first half of the first quarter of 2025.

The timing, magnitude and persistence of such market share gains are inherently difficult to predict and they may not persist in future reporting periods.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $41.25 million aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Option”) for settlement at any time during the thirteen days beginning on, and including, August 7, 2024, which Option was exercised in full on August 8, 2024.

On August 13, 2024 (the “Closing Date” or “Issue Date”), the Company completed an offering of $316.25 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of August 13, 2024 between the Company and U.S.

Bank Trust Company, National Association (“Trustee”).

The Notes are due September 1, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted.

The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2025.

After payment of the cost of entering into the Capped Call Transactions (as defined below), the Company used the remainder of the net proceeds from the Notes offering, together with cash on hand, to repay the Company’s existing senior secured credit agreement, dated as of November 19, 2021, by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, Truist Bank, as administrative agent and other parties thereto, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness;

(ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes;

(iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness;

and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Ta b l e of Contents

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2029, holders of the Notes will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Indenture.

All or any portion of the Notes may be converted prior to June 1, 2029 at the holders’ option upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2024, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the Notes for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

(ii) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 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 of the Notes on such trading day;

(iii) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company's common stock, as described in the Indenture;

or (iv) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption.

On or after June 1, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the Notes, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time at their election.

The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 13.4929 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $74.11 per share of the Company’s common stock.

The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.

In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for holders that convert their Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as described in the Indenture.

Upon conversion of the Notes, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of Notes, on August 7, 2024 and August 8, 2024, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (“Capped Calls”).

The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of $114.02 , which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on August 7, 2024.

The Company used approximately $40.6 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay premiums on the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls are expected to generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reductions and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments , approximately 4.3 million shares of the Company's common stock.

The Capped Calls will expire upon the maturity of the Notes.

The Capped Calls are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the financial institution counterparties thereto, the Capped Calls are not part of the terms of the Notes and the Capped Calls do not change the holders’ rights under the Notes.

The Capped Calls do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they meet the criteria for equity classification, and the capped call transaction premiums are recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-In Capital within Shareholders’ Equity, net of deferred income taxes.
