However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. See “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. | |

| Use of Proceeds | We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $266.3 million (or approximately $306.3 million if the underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase a portion of our outstanding 2.50% senior convertible notes due 2025 (the “2025 notes”), as further described below. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include clinical trial and other research and development expenses, commercialization expenses, capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses. | |
| Concurrent Repurchases | Concurrently with this offering, in separate transactions, we expect to repurchase approximately $207.1 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2025 notes for cash, including accrued and unpaid interest, of approximately $213.8 million. We negotiated these repurchases through one of the underwriters or its affiliate acting as our agent, for which that underwriter or affiliate may receive a customary commission. | |
| In connection with any repurchase of the 2025 notes, we expect that holders of the outstanding 2025 notes that have hedged their equity price risk with respect to the 2025 notes (the “hedged holders”) will, concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, unwind their hedge positions by buying our common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock. The amount of our common stock to be purchased by the hedged holders may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of our common stock. This activity by the hedged holders may have increased the effective conversion price of the Notes. | ||

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 42.3549 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments—Generally.”
