TransMedics Group, Inc. Announces Proposed Offering of $300 Million of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2028
TransMedics intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of certain capped call transactions (described below). In addition, TransMedics intends to use the remaining net proceeds to expand its logistics network through potential partnerships or acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of TransMedics and bear cash interest, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2023. The notes will be convertible, only during certain periods and subject to certain circumstances, into cash, shares of TransMedics common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of TransMedics common stock, at TransMedics' election. Prior to June 8, 2026, the notes will not be redeemable. On or after June 8, 2026, TransMedics may redeem for cash all or a portion of the notes (subject to certain conditions), at its option, if the last reported sale price of TransMedics' common stock has been at least
In connection with the pricing of the notes, TransMedics expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to TransMedics' common stock upon conversion of any notes and/or offset any potential cash payments TransMedics is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. To the extent any observation period for any converted notes does not correspond to the period during which the market price of TransMedics' common stock is measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, there could also be dilution and/or a reduced offset of any such cash payments as a result of the different measurement periods. If the initial purchasers of the notes exercise their option to purchase additional notes, TransMedics expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
TransMedics has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of TransMedics' common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to TransMedics' common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of TransMedics' common stock or the 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 TransMedics' common stock and/or by purchasing or selling TransMedics' common stock or other securities of TransMedics' in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions, which are expected to occur on each trading day during the 40 trading day period beginning on the 41st scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the notes, or, to the extent TransMedics exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of TransMedics' common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of holders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes, it could affect the number of shares of TransMedics' common stock and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon conversion of the notes.
The notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold absent registration or except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.
