PAR Technology Corporation Announces Proposed Offering of $60 Million of Convertible Senior Notes
PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) ("Company" or "PAR") announced today its intention to offer $60 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the Notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), subject to market conditions and other factors.
PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) ("Company" or "PAR") announced
today its intention to offer $60 million aggregate principal amount of
Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to
market conditions and other factors. The Company also expects to grant
to the initial purchaser of the Notes a 30-day option to purchase up to
an additional $10 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.
The Notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Company with
interest payable semiannually. The Notes will be convertible at the
option of the holders, prior to the close of business on the business
day immediately preceding October 15, 2023, only under certain
circumstances and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time
until the close of business on the second business day immediately
preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Notes may be settled,
at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common
stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common
stock. The Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to
April 15, 2022. On or after April 15, 2022, the Notes will be redeemable
at the Company’s option if the last reported sale price of the Company’s
common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive)
in any 30-day trading period (including the last trading day of such
period) exceeds 130% of the conversion price for the Notes. The terms of
the notes, including interest rate, conversion rate and principal
amount, will depend on market conditions at the time of pricing and will
be determined by negotiations between the Company and the initial
purchaser.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay
in full amounts outstanding under its credit facility, which were
approximately $16.1 million as of March 31, 2019, and terminate the
credit facility. The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds from
the offering (including any net proceeds from the sale of any additional
Notes that may be sold should the initial purchaser exercise its option
to purchase additional Notes) for general corporate purposes, including
funding investment in its Brink business and for other working capital
needs. The Company may also use a portion of the proceeds to acquire or
invest in other assets complementary to its business.
The Notes will only be offered to qualified institutional buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Notes nor
the shares of the Company’s common stock into which the Notes are
convertible have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act
or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so
registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except
pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an
offer to buy the Notes (or the shares of the Company’s common stock into
which the Notes are convertible), nor will there be any offer,
solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale is unlawful.
