The Company received net proceeds of approximately $84.6 million from this offering after deducting offering expenses and underwriting discounts of $5.0 million. Concurrent with the common stock offering, during December 2005, the Company issued $121.0 million of 2.875% senior subordinated convertible notes (“Notes”) due December 15, 2035. </font></div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"> </div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 27pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="left"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company purchased an aggregate of $27.9 million principal amount of the Notes on the open market at a purchase price of $23.2 million. The carrying amount of the Notes purchased was $24.1 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes exclusive of the conversion feature was $21.8 million. The difference between the carrying amount of $24.1 million and the estimated fair value of $21.8 million was recognized as a gain of $2.3 million upon early extinguishment of debt, which was partially offset by write off of associated unamortized debt issuance costs of $392,000, resulting in a net gain of $1.9 million. The difference between the estimated fair value of $21.8 million and the purchase price of $23.2 million was $1.4 million and was charged to additional paid-in capital. The Company has $26.8 million remaining of the original $50.0 million authorization to repurchase and retire part of the outstanding Notes. Cash flow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes $3.0 million of the purchase price that was attributable to the payment of accreted interest on the convertible debt discount and the remaining $20.2 million is presented as repayments of convertible debt in cash flow from financing activities. There were no repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2010.</font></div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"> </div><div style="TEXT-INDENT: 27pt;

The Notes are convertible into 17.1032 shares of Ceradyne's common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (which represents a conversion price of approximately $58.47 per share), subject to adjustment. The conversion rate will be adjusted upon the occurrence of events that affect Ceradyne's outstanding common stock, such as the issuance of our common stock or other securities as a dividend distribution to holders of our common stock, a subdivision or combination of our common stock, a recapitalization, reclassification or change of our common stock, or a consolidation or merger involving Ceradyne, as a result of which our common stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property. Generally, the conversion rate would be adjusted as of the effective time of such transaction, such that the Notes would then be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property, that a holder of a number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such transaction.
