2.0% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025
In February 2020, we issued $400 million principal amount of 2.0% convertible senior notes due 2025. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, beginning August 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.0% per annum. The notes will mature on February 15, 2025. The notes will be convertible, under certain circumstances, until November 15, 2024, and on or after such date without condition, at an initial conversion rate of 9.4469 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment, which represents a 50.0% conversion premium based on the last reported sale price for our common stock of $70.57 on January 29, 2020 prior to issuing the debt. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled in shares of common stock or, at our election, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. Assuming we fully settled the notes in shares, the maximum number of shares that could be issued to satisfy the conversion is currently 3.8 million.
We may redeem for cash all or a portion of the notes, at our option, on or after February 21, 2023 and before the 41st scheduled trading day before the maturity date, if the sales price of our common stock reaches specified targets as defined in the indenture. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest, if any.
If we experience a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the notes, the holders of the 2.0% convertible senior notes due 2025 may require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes, subject to specified exceptions, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The carrying amount of the equity component of the notes is $33.9 million, which is treated as a debt discount, and the principal amount of the liability component (face value of the notes) is $400 million. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining period for the unamortized debt discount balance of $32.8 million was approximately five years and the value of the notes, if converted and fully settled in shares, did not exceed the principal amount of the notes. As of March 31, 2020, the effective interest rate on the liability component of the notes was 4.3%.
The following table summarizes the amount of pre-tax interest cost recognized on the notes:
