Additional Financial Information

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $611 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.5 billion of secured term loan principal outstanding, $1.4 billion of convertible senior notes outstanding, €1.0 billion of senior notes outstanding and up to $1.0 billion of additional borrowing capacity under a revolving credit facility, subject to certain leverage ratio requirements. The trading price of our common stock during the second quarter of 2026 resulted in the satisfaction of the stock price conversion condition under the indenture governing our convertible senior notes. As a result, the convertible senior notes are convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the noteholders at any time during the third quarter of 2026, and were classified as short-term debt, net of issuances costs, at June 30, 2026.

In August 2026, the Company made a voluntary principal prepayment of $100 million on its USD term loan B.
