A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 and a copy of the Terms Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Prospectus, dated as of February 28, 2020, and a Prospectus Supplement for the Notes, dated as of September 30, 2020, each of which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-236787) (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the offering of the Notes.
