(1) Net proceeds are calculated by deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated costs directly related to the offering from the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of notes.
(2) Subject to adjustments as defined in the applicable indentures.
(3) The 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes may be settled in cash, stock, or a combination thereof, solely at our discretion. The 2023 Notes, while outstanding, could be settled in cash, stock, or a combination thereof, solely at our discretion.
(4) The 2023 Notes matured on December 1, 2023 and are no longer outstanding.
We use the if-converted method for assumed conversion of our senior convertible notes to compute the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for diluted earnings per share.
No principal payments are due on any of our senior convertible notes prior to maturity. Other than restrictions relating to certain fundamental changes and consolidations, mergers or asset sales and customary anti-dilution adjustments, the indentures relating to our senior convertible notes include customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the senior convertible notes may be due and payable immediately.
2023 Note Hedge
In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes, in November 2018 we entered into convertible note hedge transactions, or the 2023 Note Hedge, with two of the initial purchasers of the 2023 Notes, which we refer to as the 2023 Counterparties, entitling us to purchase up to 20.7 million shares of our common stock. The 2023 Note Hedge expired on December 1, 2023. See below for a description of conversion activity related to the 2023 Notes and shares received as the result of exercising the remaining portion of the 2023 Note Hedge in 2023.
2023 Warrants
In November 2018, we also sold warrants, or the 2023 Warrants, to the 2023 Counterparties to acquire up to 20.7 million shares of our common stock. The 2023 Warrants required net share settlement and a pro-rated number of warrants expired on each of the 60 scheduled trading days following March 1, 2024. We received $183.8 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Warrants, which we recorded in additional paid-in capital during 2018. The 2023 Warrants could have had a dilutive effect on our earnings per share to the extent that the price of our common stock during a given measurement period exceeded the strike price of the 2023 Warrants. The strike price of the 2023 Warrants was initially $49.60 per share, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the warrant agreements. We use the treasury share method for assumed conversion of the 2023 Warrants when computing the weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share.
On February 13, 2024, we entered into a warrant termination agreement with one of the 2023 Counterparties to terminate outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10.3 million shares of our common stock. In consideration of the termination of these warrants, we delivered 6.0 million shares of our common stock to the holder.
During the first quarter of 2024, a portion of the 2023 Warrants was exercised and we issued 1.9 million shares of our common stock in addition to the aforementioned 6.0 million shares issued in connection with the warrant termination agreement.
During the second quarter of 2024, the remaining portion of the 2023 Warrants was exercised and we issued 4.6 million shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise.
2028 Capped Call Transactions
In May 2023, in connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions, or the 2028 Capped Calls, with certain financial institutions. The 2028 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2028 Notes, the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 2028 Notes and/or offset any cash payments that we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2028 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The 2028 Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $212.62 per share, subject to adjustments, which represents a premium of 80% over the closing price of our common stock of $118.12 per share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 2, 2023. The cost to purchase the 2028 Capped Calls of $101.3 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets as the 2028 Capped Calls met the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity.

Conversion Rights for Senior Convertible Notes

We are also required to increase the conversion rate for holders who convert their notes in connection with certain fundamental changes occurring prior to the maturity date or following the delivery by Dexcom of a notice of redemption.

Revolving Credit Agreement
Terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement
In June 2023, we entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, or the Amended Credit Agreement, which we had previously entered into in October 2021. The Amended Credit Agreement is a five-year revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, that provides for an available principal amount of $200.0 million which can be increased up to $500.0 million at our option subject to customary conditions and approval of our lenders. The Amended Credit Agreement will mature on October 13, 2026. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
Information related to availability and outstanding borrowings on our Amended Credit Agreement is as follows as of the date indicated:

Revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at our choice of one of three base rates plus a range of applicable rates that are based on our leverage ratio. The minimum and maximum range of applicable rates per annum with respect to any ABR Loan, Term Benchmark Revolving Loan, or RFR Revolving Loan, each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement under the captions “ABR Spread”, “Term Benchmark”, and “RFR Spread”, or “Unused Commitment Fee Rate”, respectively, are outlined in the following table:

Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Dexcom and the guarantors, including all or a portion of the equity interests of our domestic subsidiaries and first-tier foreign subsidiaries but excluding real property and intellectual property (which is subject to a negative pledge). The Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit certain indebtedness, liens, investments, transactions with affiliates, dividends and other restricted payments, subordinated indebtedness and amendments to subordinated indebtedness documents, and sale and leaseback transactions of Dexcom or any of its domestic subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, we have no other material guarantee facilities or lines of credit.
