In addition, the company disclosed the following:

We have outstanding zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures which had a book amount of approximately $158.8 million and $151.4 million at September 26, 2021, and September 28, 2020, respectively. The debentures have an effective yield to maturity of 5 percent and a principal amount at maturity on March 2, 2035, of approximately $308.8 million. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or otherwise purchased. The debentures have a conversion rate of 10.64 shares per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, representing 3,285,632 shares. The debentures may be redeemed at the option of the holder on March 2, 2025, or March 2, 2030, at the issue price plus accrued original discount totaling approximately $188 million and $241 million, respectively.
