 for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture. Thereafter and until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, holders may convert regardless of the foregoing conditions. The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations that bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2024. The initial conversion rate was 35.1710 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $28.43 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including quarterly cash dividends in excess of $0.14 per share, subject to an elective deferral provision that permits us to defer adjustments until they would cumulatively result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the conversion rate. The conversion rate will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. Our Board of Directors has declared quarterly dividends of $0.17 per share since the first quarter of 2024, and we are currently electing to defer the adjustments otherwise required by the payment of these dividends until such time as the deferred adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the conversion rate or we are otherwise required to make such an adjustment. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of common stock or any combination thereof, at our option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount.

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions. The cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $70.5 million. The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and have an initial strike price equal to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The strike price of the convertible note hedges has since been adjusted to $28.31 per share as
