PLANO, Texas, March 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integer Holdings Corporation (the “Company,” “Integer”) (NYSE: ITGR) today announced that it has priced an offering of
The Company granted to the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes an option to purchase up to an additional
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company has entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes or their affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be
The Company anticipates that the aggregate net proceeds from the offering will be approximately
Concurrently with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated transactions (the “note exchange transactions”) to exchange approximately
The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering, if any, to repay borrowings and any accrued and unpaid interest under the Company’s credit agreement, and any prepayment premium, penalty or other amount, if any, due in connection with such repayment, and for general corporate purposes.
The Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate of
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to March 20, 2028. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after March 20, 2028, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to
The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of any Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Company expects the option counterparties or their respective affiliates to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common stock or the Convertible Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the Convertible Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock or the Convertible Notes, which could affect holders of the Convertible Notes’ ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following conversion of the Convertible Notes or during any observation period related to a conversion of the Convertible Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that holders of the Convertible Notes will receive upon conversion of such Convertible Notes.
In connection with the note exchange transactions, the Company expects that holders of the Existing Convertible Notes who have agreed to have their Existing Convertible Notes exchanged and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the “hedged holders”) will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying the Company’s common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock. The amount of the Company’s common stock to be purchased by the hedged holders or the notional number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common stock, including concurrently with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The Company cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the Convertible Notes or the Company’s common stock and the corresponding effect on the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes.
In connection with the issuance of the Existing Convertible Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the “existing option transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “existing option counterparties”). In connection with the note exchange transactions, the Company has entered into agreements with the existing option counterparties to terminate a portion of the existing option transactions in a notional amount corresponding to the amount of Existing Convertible Notes exchanged. Such termination will be settled through the delivery of the Company’s common stock by the existing option counterparties to the Company. In connection with such terminations of the existing option transactions, the Company expects such existing option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates will enter into or unwind various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or buy or sell shares of the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) or decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the market price of the Company’s common stock, including concurrently with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, which could affect the conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The Company cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the Convertible Notes or the Company’s common stock and the corresponding effect it has had on the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes, any shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, if any, and the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the note exchange transactions will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Convertible Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute an offer to exchange the Existing Convertible Notes.

- strategic risks, such as the intense competition the Company faces and its ability to successfully market its products; its ability to respond to changes in technology; its ability to develop new products and expand into new geographic and product markets; and its ability to successfully identify, make and integrate acquisitions to expand and develop its business in accordance with expectations;
