Such shares (the “Borrowed Shares”) will be loaned by Intrexon to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (in such capacity, the “Share Borrower”), the underwriter for the Borrowed Shares Offering. The Share Borrower or its affiliates will receive all of the proceeds of the Borrowed Shares Offering and Intrexon will not receive any proceeds of that offering. The Notes Offering is contingent upon the closing of the Borrowed Shares Offering, and the Borrowed Shares Offering is contingent upon the closing of the Notes Offering. Randal J.

Intrexon has been informed by the Share Borrower that it or one of its affiliates intends to use the short position created by the share loan and the concurrent short sales of the Borrowed Shares to facilitate transactions by which investors in the Notes may hedge their investments through short sales or privately negotiated derivatives transactions.

General corporate purposes may include additions to working capital, financing internal research and development programs, financing of capital expenditures, repayment or redemption of existing indebtedness or payments to satisfy commitments under Intrexon’s ECCs, joint ventures and other collaborations. In addition, Intrexon intends to use the net proceeds for future strategic acquisitions and strategic investment opportunities, but Intrexon has not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes, or any particular acquisitions or investments.

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

    If the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

    If the stock price is greater than $70.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

 

    If the stock price is less than $13.37 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 74.7943 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of the Notes—Conversion rights—Conversion rate adjustments” in the Notes Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
