Affirm Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFRM) (“Affirm” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”). The size of the Offering was increased from the previously announced $750 million in aggregate principal amount. In connection with the Offering, Affirm has granted 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 $120 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on the same terms and conditions. The sale of the Notes to the initial purchasers is expected to settle on December 20, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

The notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2025. 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. 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.

Holders of the Notes will have the right to require Affirm to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” in cash at a fundamental change repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. Following certain corporate events or if Affirm calls the Notes for redemption, Affirm will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their Notes in connection with such corporate event or such redemption.

The initial conversion rate of the Notes will be 9.8992 shares of Affirm’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $101.02 per share of Affirm’s Class A common stock, which represents a conversion premium of approximately 42.5% to the last reported sale price of Affirm’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 17, 2024). 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 estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $785.2 million (or approximately $903.1 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full), after deducting fees and estimated expenses. Affirm expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to repurchase approximately $960 million aggregate principal amount of Affirm’s 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 notes”) for $892.8 million of cash, in separate and privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 notes, effected through one of the initial purchasers of the Notes or its affiliate. Affirm may also repurchase additional outstanding 2026 notes following the completion of the Offering.

In addition, Affirm expects to repurchase 3,526,590 shares of its Class A common stock for approximately $250.0 million in cash concurrently with the Offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate, at a purchase price per share equal to the closing price of Affirm’s Class A common stock on December 17, 2024, which was $70.89 per share.

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 thereof, together with the repurchase by Affirm of any of its Class A common stock, 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 such share repurchases or the overall effect they will have on the price of the Notes offered in the Offering or Affirm’s Class A common stock.

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 repurchase of the 2026 notes or the repurchase of Affirm’s Class A common stock.

The Notes were 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.
