IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) priced $220,000,000 aggregate principal of 0.75% convertible senior notes due Nov 15, 2030, with an initial purchaser option for an additional $30,000,000. The notes settle Nov 6, 2025 and pay interest semi‑annually.
The initial conversion rate is 23.5743 shares per $1,000 (≈$42.42 per share), a ~30% premium to the $32.63 closing on Nov 3, 2025. Net proceeds are expected to be ≈$212.0M (≈$241.1M if option exercised).

IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) intends to privately offer $220.0M aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due November 15, 2030, with an initial purchaser option for an additional $30.0M. The notes will be senior unsecured, accrue semi‑annual interest, and be convertible in specified circumstances with settlement in cash or cash plus shares at IMAX’s election.
IMAX plans to use proceeds to fund capped call hedges, partially repurchase its 0.500% 2026 notes, and for working capital, share repurchases or other general corporate purposes. The company expects capped calls to limit dilution to a targeted ~75% premium to the last reported share price at pricing, but market and hedging activity could affect share and note prices and the initial conversion price.
