Enphase Energy Announces Pricing of $120 Million of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on
The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 48.7781 shares of our common stock per
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the Notes and/or their respective affiliates (the “hedge counterparties”). The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be. We also expect to enter into warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties. The warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants. The strike price of the warrant transactions will initially be approximately
We expect that, in connection with establishing their initial hedge of the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions, the hedge counterparties or their respective affiliates may enter into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of our common stock at that time.
In addition, the hedge counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the Notes.
Enphase expects to use
Concurrently with the offering of the Notes, we entered into separate and privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) to repurchase
Enphase intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of indebtedness, working capital, and potential acquisitions and strategic transactions. However, Enphase currently has no commitments with respect to any such acquisitions or other strategic transactions.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, the 2023 Notes or the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The Notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in
