Insulet greenshoe exercise increases convertibles to $201.25 million
By Angela McDaniels
Tacoma, Wash., June 6 – The underwriter for Insulet Corp.’s 2% five-year convertible notes, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, exercised its $26.25 million over-allotment option in full, increasing the size of the issue to $201.25 million from $175 million.
The company priced the convertibles at par with an initial conversion premium of 32.5% ahead of the market open on Wednesday and disclosed the greenshoe exercise in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. Settlement is expected to occur Monday.
Pricing for the registered, off-the-shelf deal came at the rich end of talk, which was for a 2% to 2.5% coupon and a 27.5% to 32.5% premium.
The notes are non-callable for three years and then provisionally callable in year four if the company’s share price exceeds 150% of the conversion price. They are freely callable after that.
About $120 million of the proceeds will be used to repurchase about $86 million principal amount of Insulet’s 3.75% convertibles due 2016. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include financing redemptions, repurchases and/or settlement of conversions of Insulet’s 3.75% convertibles.
Insulet is a Bedford, Mass.-based medical device maker.
