Accuray privately negotiates exchange of majority of 3.75% convertibles

Chicago, May 7 – Accuray Inc. announced that it has entered into privately negotiated agreements with holders of its 3.75% senior convertible notes due 2022 to exchange $82.1 million of the notes for approximately $97.1 million of new 3.75% senior convertibles with a June 1, 2026 maturity date, according to a press release.

The company is additionally selling $2.9 million of new notes from the 2026 series for cash.

For the new 2026 notes, the initial conversion rate will be 170.5611 shares of common stock per $1,000 note, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.86 per share.

The initial conversion premium is 30% above the sale price of common stock on May 6.

The new notes will be convertible into cash, shares or common stock, or a combination of both at Accuray’s election.

When the transactions close on May 13, Accuray estimates $100 million of the notes will be outstanding and $2.9 million of the 2022 notes will remain outstanding.

Proceeds from the $2.9 million of new notes will be used, with cash, to repurchase approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock in privately negotiated transactions with a financial intermediary at a price per share of $4.51, equal to the last reported sale price of Accuray common stock on May 6.

The notes are callable on or after June 5, 2024, subject to a 130% hurdle
