payable by the Issuer of approximately $10.3 million, will be approximately $239.7 million (or approximately $275.7 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full).
The net proceeds from this offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and strategic transactions. From time to time, the Issuer evaluates potential acquisitions and strategic transactions of businesses, technologies or products. Currently, however, the Issuer does not have any agreements with respect to any material acquisitions or strategic transactions. |
Concurrent Offering of Convertible Senior Notes
Concurrently with this offering of common stock, pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement, we priced an underwritten public offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due October 15, 2013 (or $230 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due October 15, 2013 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) (the Convertible Senior Notes Offering). Neither the completion of this offering nor of the Convertible Senior Notes Offering is contingent on the completion of the other. Assuming no exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option with respect to the Convertible Senior Notes Offering, the net proceeds of the Convertible Senior Notes Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses, will be approximately $194.2 million.
The convertible senior notes will be convertible at the holders option into shares of the Issuers common stock at a conversion rate of 196.7052 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible senior notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.08 per share of the Issuers common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. This initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 22.50% relative to the public offering price of the Issuers common stock of $4.15 per share.
In connection with the Convertible Senior Note Offering, the Issuer entered into capped call transactions with counterparties, which are affiliated with some of the underwriters of the offering. The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 39.3 million shares (or approximately 45.2 million shares if the underwriters of the Convertible Senior Notes Offering exercise their over-allotment option in full) of the Issuers Common Stock. The Issuer estimates the cost of the capped call transactions to be approximately $21.5 million, or $24.7 million if the underwriters of the Convertible Senior Notes Offering exercise their over-allotment option in full. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the convertible senior notes. The capped call transactions have a capped price that is 60% higher than the public offering price of the Issuers common stock in this offering. In connection with establishing their initial hedge of these capped call transactions, the
Issuer expects that the counterparties will enter into various over-the-counter derivative transactions with respect to the Issuers common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the convertible senior notes and may unwind or enter into various over-the-counter derivatives and/or purchase the Issuers common stock in secondary market transactions after the pricing of the convertible senior notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of the Issuers common stock concurrently with or following the pricing of the convertible senior notes. In addition, the counterparties may modify or unwind their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions and/or purchasing or selling the Issuers common stock in secondary market transactions prior to maturity of the convertible senior notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date of the capped call transactions).
