19 Octubre 2023 - 6:01AM
Business Wire
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC) (the “Company” or “Semtech”)
today announced that, subject to market conditions, it intends to
offer $250 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible
senior notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) to eligible purchasers in a
private placement (the “Placement”) that is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”).
Semtech intends to use the net proceeds of the Placement,
together with cash on hand, in order to prepay term loans
outstanding under the Company’s senior credit facilities and to pay
any fees and expenses relating thereto or to the Placement.
The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Semtech, and
will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears. Semtech will
settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as
the case may be, cash, shares of Semtech’s common stock or a
combination of cash and shares of Semtech’s common stock, at
Semtech’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of
Semtech’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes being converted, based on the then
applicable conversion rate. The interest rate, the initial
conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at
the time of pricing of the Placement. The Notes will be jointly and
severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
unsecured basis by each of Semtech’s current and future direct and
indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee
Semtech’s borrowings under its senior credit facilities.
Neither the Notes, the guarantees nor the shares of Semtech’s
common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if
any, have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act,
the securities laws of any other jurisdiction or any state
securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and applicable state laws. The Notes will be offered and sold only
to eligible purchasers who are both qualified institutional buyers
within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and
accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities
Act. This news release is for informational purposes only and does
not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to
buy, the Notes or the guarantees, nor shall there be any sale of
the Notes or the guarantees in any state or jurisdiction in which
such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. No assurance can be
made that the Placement will be consummated on its proposed terms
or at all.
