Cal Dive greenshoe exercised, lifts 5% convertibles to $86.25 million

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, July 18 - Underwriters for Cal Dive International Inc.'s new five-year convertible senior notes exercised the $11.25 million over-allotment option in full, lifting the size of the deal to $86.25 million, according to a term sheet.

As previously reported, the notes due July 15, 2017 were priced on July 12 at par to yield 5% with an initial conversion premium of 20%.

The Rule 144A deal was sold via joint bookrunners Wells Fargo Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., with co-managers Nataxis Securities Americas LLC, Howard Weil Inc., Capital One Southcoast Inc., and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA.

As previously reported, the bonds priced with an initial conversion price of $2.24 per share, versus the July 12 closing stock price of $1.87.

The notes are convertible prior to April 15, 2017 under certain conditions, and are convertible into cash, common stock, or a combination at Cal Dive's option. They have takeover protection in the form of a make whole table.

Proceeds will be used to repay part of the company's senior secured term loan.

Cal Dive is a Houston-based offshore oil and gas company.
