The information appearing in the table below, which is based on information provided by or on behalf of the named selling securityholders, supplements and amends the information in the table appearing under the heading “Selling Securityholders” in the prospectus. The percentage of notes outstanding beneficially owned by each selling securityholder is based on $300,000,000 aggregate initial principal amount of notes outstanding. The number of shares of common stock owned prior to the offering excludes shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. The number of shares of common stock offered hereby is based on the initial conversion rate equivalent to 47.6667 shares of common stock per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes and a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share.
