dated as of [    ], 2025

Between INSULET CORPORATION and [    ]

 

 

 

THIS CALL OPTION TERMINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) with respect to the Call Option Confirmations (as defined below) is made as of [    ], 2025, between Insulet Corporation (“Company”) and [    ] (“Dealer”).

WHEREAS, Company issued $800,000,000 principal amount of 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 6, 2019 between Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee;

WHEREAS, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, Company and Dealer entered into a Base Capped Call Transaction (the “Base Call Option Transaction”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of September 3, 2019, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Company purchased from Dealer [    ] call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound from time to time, the “Base Call Option Confirmation”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Convertibles Notes, Company and Dealer entered into an Additional Capped Call Transaction (the “Additional Call Option Transaction” and, together with the Base Call Option Transaction, the “Call Option Transactions”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of September 4, 2019, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Company purchased from Dealer [    ] call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound from time to time, the “Additional Call Option Confirmation” and, together with the Base Call Option Confirmation, the “Call Option Confirmations”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with a repurchase by Company of $[    ] aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash through one or more separate and individually negotiated transactions with certain of the holders of the Convertible Notes, Company has requested [full termination of the Additional Call Option Transaction and partial termination of the Base Call Option Transaction];

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Call Option Confirmations.

2. Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Call Option Confirmations, but subject to Section 16 hereof, Company and Dealer agree that, effective on the date hereof

(i) [the Additional Call Option Transaction shall automatically terminate and all of the respective rights and obligations of the parties under the Additional Call Option Confirmation shall be terminated, cancelled and extinguished,

(ii) the Number of Options under the Base Call Option Transaction shall be reduced to [    ] in the aggregate, with Annex A of the Base Call Option Confirmation hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto, and]

(iii) in connection with such termination, Dealer shall (a) pay to Company the Spot Cash Settlement Amount on the Spot Payment Date pursuant to Section 4(a) below and (b) pay to Company the VWAP Cash Settlement Amount on the VWAP Payment Date pursuant to Section 4(b) below.

3. Procedures for Hedge Unwind. On each Hedge Unwind Date (as defined below), Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer for the account of Dealer), shall unwind a portion of its hedge of the VWAP Options underlying the Call Option Transactions being terminated hereunder. A “Hedge Unwind Date” means each of the [Insert Number of Hedge Unwind Dates] consecutive Scheduled Trading Days beginning on, and including, the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following


March 20, 2025; provided, however, that if any such date is a Disrupted Day in whole, such date shall not constitute a Hedge Unwind Date, and an additional Hedge Unwind Date shall occur on the Scheduled Trading Day after the date that would otherwise be the final Hedge Unwind Date. “Hedge Unwind Period” means the period of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days from, but excluding, March 20, 2025 to, and including, the final Hedge Unwind Date. “VWAP Options” means [    ]1 Options underlying the Call Option Transactions being terminated hereunder.

4. Termination Payment.

(a) On the Currency Business Day immediately following the date hereof (the “Spot Payment Date”), Dealer shall pay to Company in immediately available funds, to the account specified in Section 7 hereof, cash in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to $[    ] (the “Spot Cash Settlement Amount”) in consideration of the termination of [    ]2 Options hereunder (the “Spot Options”).

(b) On the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Hedge Unwind Period or, if such day is not a Currency Business Day, on the next Currency Business Day immediately following such day (the “VWAP Payment Date”), Dealer shall pay to Company in immediately available funds, to the account specified in Section 7 hereof, cash in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the VWAP Cash Settlement Amount. The “VWAP Cash Settlement Amount” shall mean an amount of cash in U.S. Dollars determined by Dealer pursuant to the table set forth in Schedule A attached hereto (using linear interpolation or commercially reasonable extrapolation by Dealer, as applicable, to determine the VWAP Cash Settlement Amount for any Average VWAP not specifically appearing in Schedule A). “Average VWAP” means the arithmetic average of the VWAP Prices for each Hedge Unwind Date during the Hedge Unwind Period. “VWAP Price” for any Scheduled Trading Day means the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page PODD <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm (New York City time) on such Scheduled Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Scheduled Trading Day for such time period, as determined by Dealer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Scheduled Trading Day in the Hedge Unwind Period is a Disrupted Day (in whole or in part) or (ii) Dealer determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Hedge Unwind Period that an extension of the Hedge Unwind Period is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect sales of Shares in connection with its hedge unwind activity hereunder in a manner that would be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer, then the VWAP Price for such Scheduled Trading Day(s) shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Scheduled Trading Day on the Exchange for such time period, as determined by Dealer based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Scheduled Trading Day for which Dealer determines there is no Market Disruption Event with respect to the Shares (if any) and the number of Hedge Unwind Dates and the VWAP Cash Settlement Amount shall be adjusted by Dealer in its good faith, commercially reasonable discretion to account for such disruption and/or extension.

5. Representations and Warranties of Company. Company represents and warrants to Dealer on the date hereof that:
