The Issuer intends to contribute the net proceeds from this offering to its operating partnership in exchange for the issuance by the operating partnership of the Mirror Note with terms that are substantially equivalent to the terms of the Notes offered through the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. The Issuer’s operating partnership intends to acquire or refinance, in whole or in part, Eligible Green Projects. Eligible Green Projects may include projects with disbursements made during the twelve months preceding the issue date of the Notes and projects with disbursements to be made following the issue date. Prior to the full investment of such net proceeds, the Issuer intends to invest such net proceeds in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities which are consistent with its intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT.

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

 

if the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;


 

if the stock price is greater than $84.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate; or

 

 

if the stock price is less than $37.93 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate be increased on account of a make-whole fundamental change to exceed 26.3643 shares of the Issuer’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate is required to be adjusted as set forth under “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
