MicroStrategy Announces Proposed Private Offering of $500 Million of Convertible Senior Notes
13 Marzo 2024 - 9:20PM
Business Wire
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) (“MicroStrategy”)
today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market
conditions and other factors, $500 million aggregate principal
amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”) in a
private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). MicroStrategy also
expects to grant to the initial purchasers of the notes an option
to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including,
the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional
$75 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The offering
is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no
assurance as to whether, when or on what terms the offering may be
completed.
The notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of MicroStrategy
and will bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15
and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2024. The
notes will mature on March 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased,
redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. Subject to
certain conditions, on or after March 22, 2028, MicroStrategy may
redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes. If MicroStrategy
redeems fewer than all the outstanding notes, at least $75 million
aggregate principal amount of notes must be outstanding and not
subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.
Holders of the notes will have the right to require MicroStrategy
to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes on
September 15, 2028. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares
of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock, or a combination of cash
and shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock, at
MicroStrategy’s election. Prior to September 15, 2030, the notes
will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and
during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the
second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity
date. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, and other terms
of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the
offering. MicroStrategy expects that the reference price used to
calculate the initial conversion price for the notes will be the
U.S. composite volume weighted average price of MicroStrategy’s
class A common stock from 9:30 AM through 4:00 PM EDT on the date
of pricing.
MicroStrategy intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of
the notes to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate
purposes.
The notes will be offered and sold to persons reasonably
believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the notes and the
shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock issuable upon
conversion of the notes, if any, have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
other jurisdiction, and the notes and any such shares may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Any offer
of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering
memorandum.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a
solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, nor shall there be any
sale of, the notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the securities
laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
