New Issue: Livongo sells upsized $475 million five-year convertibles to yield 0.875%, up 27.5%

By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., June 2 – Livongo Health Inc. priced an upsized $475 million of five-year convertible notes after the market close on Monday at par with a coupon of 0.875% and an initial conversion premium of 27.5%, according to a company news release.

Pricing came toward the rich end of talk for a coupon of 0.75% to 1.25% and at the midpoint of talk for an initial conversion premium of 25% to 30%, according to a market source.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (lead left), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC were bookrunners for the Rule 144A offering, which carries an upsized greenshoe of $75 million.

The initial size of the offering was $400 million with a greenshoe of $60 million.

The notes are non-callable until June 5, 2023 and then subject to a 130% hurdle.

They will be settled in cash, shares or a combination of both at the company’s option.

In connection with the offering, the company entered into capped call transactions with a cap price of $118.54, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sales price of stock.

Net proceeds are expected to be $461.1 million, or $534 million if the greenshoe is exercised in full.

Approximately $60.3 million of proceeds will be used to cover the cost of the call spread with the remaining amount to be used for general corporate purposes.

Livongo Health is a Mountain View, Calif.-based data-based health coaching program with products that help with the management of chronic diseases.
