The closing of the Exchange Transactions and Subscription Transactions occurred onAugust 19, 2020 . The 2021 Note Repurchase closed immediately following the closing of the Exchange Transactions and the Subscription Transactions. Indenture The New Notes were issued under an Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as ofAugust 19, 2020 between the Company andU.S. Bank National Association , as trustee (the "Trustee").

The conversion rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's Class A common stock, at the Company's election.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the New Notes, at its option, on or afterMarch 1, 2023 , if the last reported sale price of the Company's Class A common stock has been at least 130.00% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
