2023 Convertible Notes

On August 20, 2018, we issued the 2023 Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $316.3 million. The 2023 Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15th and August 15th of each year and will mature on August 15, 2023, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2023 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 9.8643 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $101.38 per share of common stock). The circumstances required to allow the holders to convert their 2023 Convertible Notes were not met as of September 30, 2019.

The excess of the principal amount of the liability over its carrying amount ("debt discount") is amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method.

We incurred debt issue costs and allocated the total amount to the liability and equity components of the 2023 Convertible Notes based on their relative values. The debt issue costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders' equity.

The table below summarizes the amount of interest cost recognized by us for both the contractual interest expense and amortization of the debt discount for the 2023 Convertible Notes:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Contractual interest expense	$	1,581	$	720	$	4,743	$	720
Amortization of debt discount ⁽¹⁾	2,166		938		6,411		938
Total	$	3,747	$	1,658	$	11,154	$	1,658


⁽¹⁾	The effective interest rate of the liability component was 5.45% as of September 30, 2019.

Credit Facility

On June 26, 2015, we entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a $550.0 million senior secured bank revolving credit facility (“Original Credit Facility”) maturing on June 26, 2020. In November 2018, we amended and restated the credit agreement to the Original Credit Facility, to, among other things, extend the maturity of the Original Credit Facility to November 30, 2023 and incurred an additional $1.7 million of debt issuance costs (the Original Credit Facility as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”). There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Additionally, $1.0 million of the borrowing limit under the Credit Facility was utilized for letters of credit as of September 30, 2019.

There were $2.4 million and $3.6 million of unamortized debt issue costs related to the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These amounts were included in “Other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
