SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following information supplements the information set forth under the caption Selling Stockholders in the prospectus dated January 10, 2017, as supplemented by the prospectus supplements dated January 10, 2017 and August 14, 2017. The following updated information is based upon information provided to us by certain holders of the Notes who elected to exchange their Notes (the Exchanging Noteholders) and is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of November 1, 2017.
The following table sets forth, as of November 1, 2017, with respect to the Exchanging Noteholders, the number of shares of Class A common stock (i) that the Exchanging Noteholders beneficially owned as of that date and (ii) that is expected to be beneficially owned by the Exchanging Noteholders immediately after the exchange of their Notes, based on our current Share Settlement election, as described in Section 4.11(a)(1) of the indenture governing the Notes. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the Exchanging Noteholder. The percent of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned following the exchange is based on 546,505,873 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2017, plus the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes beneficially owned by all of the Exchanging Noteholders listed in the table below.
Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that the Exchanging Noteholders will have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Because the Exchanging Noteholders may offer, pursuant to this prospectus supplement no. 3, all or some portion of the Class A common stock listed below, no estimate can be given as to the amount of Class A common stock that will be held by the Exchanging Noteholders upon consummation of any sales. In addition, the Exchanging Noteholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in transactions exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, some or all of their Notes or Class A common stock since the date as of which such information was provided to us.
Unless otherwise set forth below, the Exchanging Noteholders have not had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years, other than as a noteholder and, if applicable, as a stockholder.
Information about Exchanging Noteholders may change over time. Any changed information given to us by Exchanging Noteholders will be set forth in prospectus supplements or amendments to the prospectus dated January 10, 2017 if and when necessary.
