Morning Commentary: Livongo, HubSpot convertible offerings eyed; Invacare exchanges

By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., June 1 – Following the highest volume month since 2009, the convertibles primary market launched June with two overnight offerings on deck.

HubSpot Inc. plans to price $400 million of five-year convertible notes and Livongo Health Inc. plans to price $400 million of five-year convertible notes after the market close on Monday.

The deals looked cheap based on underwriters’ assumptions, sources said.

Meanwhile, Invacare Corp. exchanged a portion of its 5% convertible notes due 2021 and 4.5% convertible notes due 2022 for $71.4 million of new 5% series II convertible notes due 2024.

HubSpot on tap

HubSpot plans to price $400 million of five-year convertible notes after the market close on Monday with price talk for a coupon of 0.125% to 0.625% and an initial conversion premium of 30% to 35%.

The deal was heard to be marketed with assumptions of 475 basis points over Libor and a 40% vol., according to a market source.

Using those assumptions, the deal looked 1.625 points cheap at the midpoint of talk, a source said.

The company plans to repurchase or exchange a portion of its 0.25% convertible notes due 2022 in individually negotiated transactions.

Proceeds from the new offering will be used to fund the cash portion of the repurchase or exchange.

The Cambridge, Mass-based software company priced a $400 million issue of the 0.25% notes in May 2018.

The notes broke double par last week and changed hands at 212.8 early Monday, according to Trace data.
