The Notes and the Indenture
On January 30, 2018, the Company issued $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes") to an indenture, dated as of January 30, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting discounts and expenses, were approximately $194 million. The Company used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year until maturity. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2018. In addition, additional interest and special interest may accrue on the Notes under certain circumstances as described in the Indenture. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The initial conversion rate is 22.2748 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $44.89 per share of Common Stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the Indenture, including being adjusted up to 30.6278 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. As such, the Company has reserved for issuance up to 6,125,560 shares of its Common Stock for potential settlement upon conversion.
Noteholders may convert their Notes at their option only in the following circumstances:
|
During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2018, if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; |
|
During the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; |
|
Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events of distributions on Common Stock, as described in the Indenture; |
|
If the Company calls such Notes for redemption; or |
|
At any time from, and including, November 15, 2022 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. |
The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, based on the applicable conversion rate(s). If the Company elects to deliver cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, then the consideration due upon conversion will be based on an observation period consisting of 25 VWAP Trading Days (as defined in the Indenture).
If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then the Company will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time.
The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 15, 2021, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice.
If a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Notes were sold to certain initial purchasers to a purchase agreement with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representative of such initial purchasers and offered to qualified institutional buyers to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description of the Indenture is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
