Affirm Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFRM) (“Affirm” or the “Company”)
today announced its intention to offer, subject to market
conditions and other factors, $750 million aggregate principal
amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a
private offering (the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering,
Affirm expects to grant 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 $112.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes
on the same terms and conditions.
Affirm expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to
repurchase a portion of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026
(the “2026 notes”) as described below. In addition, Affirm expects
to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering, together
with cash on hand (if necessary), to repurchase up to $300 million
of shares of its Class A common stock concurrently with the pricing
of the Offering, as described below. The repurchases of the 2026
notes and the repurchases of shares of Affirm’s Class A common
stock may increase, or reduce the size of a decrease in, the
trading price of Affirm’s Class A common stock, and may affect the
initial terms of the Notes, including the initial conversion price.
Affirm expects to use any remaining proceeds for general corporate
purposes.
The final terms of the Notes, including the initial conversion
price, interest rate and certain other terms, will be determined at
the time of pricing of the Offering. When issued, the Notes will be
senior, unsecured obligations of Affirm. The Notes will mature on
December 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or
converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior
to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding
September 15, 2029, the Notes will be convertible at the option of
the holders of the Notes only upon the satisfaction of specified
conditions and during certain periods. On or after September 15,
2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading
day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Notes will be
convertible, at the option of the holders of Notes, at any time
regardless of such conditions. Upon conversion, Affirm will pay
cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of
Class A common stock of Affirm or a combination of cash and shares
of Class A common stock of Affirm, at Affirm’s election, in respect
of the remainder, if any, of Affirm’s conversion obligation in
excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being
converted. Affirm may not redeem the Notes prior to December 20,
2027. Affirm may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes,
at its option, on or after December 20, 2027, but only if the last
reported sale price per share of Affirm’s Class A common stock has
been at least 130% of the conversion price for a specified period
of time.
Concurrently with the pricing of the Notes in the Offering,
Affirm expects to enter into one or more separate and individually
negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 notes to
repurchase for cash a portion of its 2026 notes (the “note
repurchases”). The terms of the note repurchases are anticipated to
be individually negotiated with each of such holders and will
depend on several factors, including the market price of Affirm’s
Class A common stock and the trading price of the 2026 notes at the
time of such note repurchases. No assurance can be given as to how
much, if any, of the 2026 notes will be repurchased or the terms on
which they will be repurchased.
Affirm expects to negotiate the note repurchases through one of
the initial purchasers and/or its affiliate. Affirm may also
repurchase additional outstanding 2026 notes following the
completion of the Offering.
Affirm expects that holders of the 2026 notes that are
repurchased by Affirm as described above may enter into or unwind
various derivatives with respect to Affirm’s Class A common stock
(including entering into derivatives with one or more of the
initial purchasers in the Offering or their respective affiliates)
and/or purchase or sell shares of Affirm’s Class A common stock
concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes.
Repurchases of the 2026 notes, and the potential related market
activities by holders of any 2026 notes that are repurchased by
Affirm could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) or
decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the market price
of Affirm’s Class A common stock, which may affect the trading
price of the Notes offered in the Offering at that time and, to the
extent effected concurrently with the pricing of the Offering, the
initial conversion price of the Notes. Affirm cannot predict the
magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will
have on the price of the Notes offered in the Offering or Affirm’s
Class A common stock.
Concurrently with the pricing of the Notes in the Offering,
Affirm also expects to repurchase up to $300 million of shares of
its Class A common stock (the “share repurchases”), in privately
negotiated transactions with or through one of the initial
purchasers or its affiliate. Affirm expects the purchase price per
share of Class A common stock repurchased in the share repurchases
to equal the closing price per share of the Class A common stock on
the date of pricing of the Notes.
These activities, and any other repurchases of shares of
Affirm’s Class A common stock, could increase, or reduce the size
of any decrease in, the market price of Affirm’s Class A common
stock, including concurrently with the pricing of the Notes,
resulting in a higher effective conversion price for the Notes.
Affirm cannot predict the magnitude of such share repurchases or
the overall effect they will have on the price of the Notes in the
Offering or Affirm’s Class A common stock. No assurance can be
given as to how much, if any, of Affirm’s Class A common stock will
be repurchased or the terms on which they will be repurchased.
In addition, any share repurchases following this Offering could
affect the market price of the Notes and, if conducted during an
observation period for the conversion of any Notes, could affect
the amount and value of the consideration that is due upon such
conversion. However, Affirm does not have an authorized share
repurchase program other than the share repurchases expected to be
executed concurrently with the pricing of this Offering.
This press release is not an offer to repurchase the 2026 notes
or Affirm’s Class A common stock, and the Offering of the Notes is
not contingent upon the note repurchases or the share
repurchases.
The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to
be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The
offer and sale of the Notes and any shares of Class A common stock
of Affirm 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 unless so
registered, the Notes and such shares, if any, may not be offered
or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable
exemption from such registration requirements.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or
sale of, the Notes (or any shares of Class A common stock of Affirm
issuable upon conversion of the Notes) in any state or jurisdiction
in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior
to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities
laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
