MicroStrategy Completes $800 Million Offering of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2032
TYSONS CORNER, Va., June 20, 2024 MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR)
(MicroStrategy) today announced that, on June 18, 2024, it completed its previously announced offering of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the notes). The aggregate principal amount of the notes sold in the
offering was $800 million, which includes $100 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued pursuant to an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on
which the notes were first issued, granted to the initial purchasers under the purchase agreement, which the initial purchasers exercised in full on June 17, 2024 and which additional purchase was completed on June 18, 2024. The notes were
sold 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).
The notes are unsecured, senior obligations of MicroStrategy, and bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15
and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2024. The notes will mature on June 15, 2032, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. Subject to certain conditions, on or after
June 20, 2029, MicroStrategy may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
redemption date, if the last reported sale price of MicroStrategys class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time ending on the trading day immediately before the date the
notice of redemption is sent. 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 notes may require MicroStrategy to repurchase their notes on June 15, 2029 or upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute a
fundamental change under the indenture governing the notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In connection with
certain corporate events or if MicroStrategy calls any note for redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, be required to increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or
notice of redemption.
The notes are convertible into cash, shares of MicroStrategys class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of
MicroStrategys class A common stock, at MicroStrategys election. Prior to December 15, 2031, the notes are 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 conversion rate for the notes is initially 0.4894 shares of
MicroStrategys class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2,043.32 per share. This represents a premium of approximately 35% over the U.S. composite volume
weighted average price of MicroStrategys class A common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday, June 13, 2024, which was $1,513.46. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events.
The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were approximately $786.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by MicroStrategy.
MicroStrategy intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the
notes to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.
The notes were 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 MicroStrategys 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. The offering of
the notes was made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
