Supernus Announces Pricing of $350 Million Private Offering of 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes
The Notes will be the Company's unsecured obligations, effectively subordinated in right of payment to any secured senior indebtedness of the Company and structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries. The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in cash on
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be approximately
The holders of the Notes will have the ability to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of their Notes for cash in the event of a "fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes). In such case, the repurchase price would be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Prior to
In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company has entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Notes or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the "Hedge Counterparties"). The convertible note hedge
transactions cover the number of shares of the Company's common stock that will initially underlie the Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with the Hedge Counterparties relating to the same number of shares of the Company's common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions, concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes, the Hedge Counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common stock and/or purchase shares of the Company's common stock, and shortly after the pricing of the Notes, may purchase the Company's common stock in secondary market transactions. These activities could have the effect of increasing, or reducing the size of a decline in, the market price of the Company's common stock concurrently with, or shortly following, the pricing of the Notes. In addition, the Hedge Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common stock and/or by purchasing or selling the Company's common stock or other securities of the Company, including the Notes, in open market transactions and/or privately negotiated transactions following the pricing of the Notes from time to time (and are likely to do so during any "observation period" (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) related to a conversion of Notes). Any of these hedging activities could adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock or the Notes.
The offer and sale of the Notes and the shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, if any, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and the Notes and such shares may not be offered or sold in
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
