18 Novembro 2024 - 6:01PM
Business Wire
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) (“MicroStrategy”)
today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market
conditions and other factors, $1.75 billion aggregate principal
amount of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 (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”) and to certain
non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in
compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
MicroStrategy also expects to grant to the initial purchasers of
the notes an option to purchase, within a 3-day period beginning
on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up
to an additional $250 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. The notes will not bear regular interest, and the
principal amount of the notes will not accrete. The notes will
mature on December 1, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or
converted in accordance with their terms. Subject to certain
conditions, on or after December 4, 2026, 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 June 1,
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 June 1, 2029, 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 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 1:30 p.m. through 4:00
p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of pricing.
MicroStrategy intends to use the net proceeds from this offering
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 in accordance with
Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons
in transactions outside the United States in compliance with
Regulation S 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. There can be no assurances
that the offering of the notes will be completed as described
herein or at all.
