Exhibit 99.1
IRHYTHM ANNOUNCES PROPOSED OFFERING OF $450.0 MILLION OF CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
SAN FRANCISCO, MARCH 4, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (iRhythm) (NASDAQ:IRTC), a leading digital health
care company focused on creating trusted solutions that detect, predict, and help prevent disease, announced today that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of
Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the notes) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
iRhythm also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period from, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional
$67.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes.
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of iRhythm, and interest will be payable
semi-annually in arrears. The notes will mature on September 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed in accordance with the terms of the notes. Prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately preceding
June 1, 2029, the notes will be convertible at the option of holders of the notes only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, the notes will be convertible at the option of holders at any time until
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, regardless of whether such conditions have been met. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled in shares of iRhythms common stock, cash
or a combination of cash and shares of iRhythms common stock, at the election of iRhythm. Prior to March 5, 2027, the notes will not be redeemable. On or after March 5, 2027, and prior to June 1, 2029, iRhythm may redeem for
cash all or part of the notes, at its option, subject to a partial redemption limitation, if the last reported sale price of iRhythms common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days
(whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which iRhythm provides notice of redemption.
Holders of the notes will have the right to require iRhythm to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus any
accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture relating to the notes). iRhythm will also be required to increase, in certain circumstances, the conversion rate for holders who convert their
notes in connection with certain fundamental changes occurring prior to the maturity date or convert their notes called (or deemed called) for redemption following delivery by iRhythm of a notice of redemption.
The interest rate, initial conversion rate, offering price and other terms are to be determined upon pricing of the notes.
Braidwell LP, iRhythms lender and a holder of its common stock, has expressed an interest in purchasing a portion of the notes. Any such purchase will
be on the same terms as purchases of notes by other investors. An indication of interest is not binding and there can be no assurance that Braidwell will purchase notes or will be allocated any notes by the initial purchasers. A portion of the net
proceeds of the offering of the notes will be paid to Braidwell as repayment of the loan from Braidwell, as further described below.
iRhythm intends to
use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions, as described below. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, iRhythm intends to use a portion of the net
proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions. In addition, iRhythm expects to use approximately $80.1 million of the net proceeds from the offering for the repayment in full of indebtedness
outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, under iRhythms Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the Loan Agreement), with Braidwell Transaction Holdings LLC Series 5, which consists of
borrowings under the initial tranche of the Loan Agreements term loan facility. iRhythm also expects to use up to $25.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of iRhythms common stock concurrently with
the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate. iRhythm expects to repurchase such shares at a purchase price per share equal to the closing price per share of iRhythms common
stock on the date of the pricing of the offering. These repurchases could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of iRhythms common stock prior to or concurrently with pricing of the notes, and could result in higher
effective conversion prices for the notes. iRhythm intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include sales and marketing activities, medical affairs and educational efforts, research
and development and clinical studies, and working capital, capital expenditures, and investments in and acquisitions of other companies, products or technologies in the future. However, iRhythm has no commitments or specific plans with respect to
any such investments in and acquisitions of other companies, products or technologies at this time.
