Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended April 30, 2024, holders of the 2025 Notes converted $661.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes, which we repaid in cash. We also issued 4.6 million shares of our unregistered common stock to the holders of the 2025 Notes for the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. These shares of our common stock were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2024, we issued a total of 11,272 shares of our unregistered common stock in connection with certain of our acquisitions (the “Transactions”). The Transactions did not involve any underwriters, any underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The issuances of the securities pursuant to the Transactions were exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
