MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) (“MicroStrategy”)
today announced the pricing of its offering of $2.6 billion
aggregate principal amount of its 0% convertible senior notes due
2029 (the “notes”). The notes will be sold in a private offering
only 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 granted
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 $400 million
aggregate principal amount of the notes. The offering was upsized
from the previously announced offering of $1.75 billion aggregate
principal amount of notes. The offering is expected to close on
November 21, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
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 at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed,
plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of
MicroStrategy’s class A common stock has been at least 130% of the
conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time
ending on the trading day immediately before the date the notice of
redemption is sent. 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 notes may require MicroStrategy to repurchase for
cash all or any portion of their notes on June 1, 2028 or upon the
occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental change
under the indenture governing the notes at a repurchase price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased,
plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the
date of repurchase. In connection with certain corporate events or
if MicroStrategy calls any note for redemption, it will, under
certain circumstances, be required to increase the conversion rate
for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with
such corporate event or notice of redemption.
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 conversion rate for the notes will initially be 1.4872
shares of MicroStrategy’s class A common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price
of approximately $672.40 per share. The initial conversion price of
the notes represents a premium of approximately 55% over 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 November 19, 2024, which was $433.7997. The conversion rate will
be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
MicroStrategy estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of
the notes will be approximately $2.58 billion (or approximately
$2.97 billion if the initial purchasers exercise in full their
option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial
purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by MicroStrategy.
MicroStrategy intends to use the net proceeds from the 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. The
offering of the notes is being 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.
