Under the terms of the Sales Agreements, the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,000,000,000 (the “Shares”), from time to time to or through any of the Agents, acting as agent and/or principal.
Sales, if any, of Shares under the Sales Agreements may be made in ordinary brokers’ transactions, to or through a market maker, on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other market venue where the securities may be traded, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions (including block transactions), or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The Agents may also sell Shares by any other method permitted by law. Each Agent will make all sales on a best efforts basis using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between each Agent and the Company. The compensation payable to each Agent for sales of Shares pursuant to its Sales Agreement will be up to 1.0% of the gross sales price for any Shares sold through it as agent under the applicable Sales Agreement.
