New Issue: MongoDB prices upsized $1 billion six-year convertible notes to yield 0.25%, up 42.5%

By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Jan. 10 – MongoDB Inc. priced an upsized $1 billion of six-year convertible notes after the market close on Thursday at par with a coupon of 0.25% and an initial conversion premium of 42.5%, according to a company news release.

Pricing came in line with revised talk for a coupon of 0.25% and at the rich end of talk for an initial conversion premium of 40% to 42.5%, according to a market source.

Initial price talk was for a coupon of 0% to 0.5% and an initial conversion premium of 37.5% to 42.5%.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (lead left), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Barclays are the bookrunners on the Rule 144A offering, which carries an upsized greenshoe of $150 million.

The initial size of the offering was $750 million with a greenshoe of $112.5 million.

The notes are non-callable until Jan. 20, 2023 and then subject to a 130% hurdle. There are no puts.

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

In connection with the pricing of the notes, MongoDB will enter into capped call transactions with a cap price of $296.4, which represents a 100% premium over the stock reference price for the convertible notes.

Net proceeds are expected to be $980 million, or $1.13 billion if the greenshoe is exercised in full.

Approximately $80.8 million will be used to cover the cost of the call spread, and $479.2 million will be used to repurchase for cash about $210 million of the company’s outstanding 0.75% convertible notes due 2024 in privately negotiated transactions.

Remaining proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or investments.

MongoDB is a New York-based document-oriented database program.
