June 04 2019 - 4:28PM
Altair Engineering Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTR) (“Altair”) today announced
that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions,
$175 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior
notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in an underwritten offering registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The
Notes will be convertible into cash and/or shares of Altair’s Class
A common stock at Altair’s election. The interest rate, conversion
price and other terms of the Notes are to be determined upon
pricing of the offering. In addition, Altair expects to grant the
underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of
the Notes offered.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and RBC
Capital Markets, LLC will act as joint bookrunners for the
offering.

from the offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under its
$150.0 million revolving credit facility, which was approximately
$14.8 million as of March 31, 2019. Altair intends to use the
remaining net proceeds for acquisitions of, or investments in,
technologies, solutions or businesses that complement Altair’s
business and other general corporate purposes, including
working capital, developing and building an addition adjacent to
Altair’s corporate headquarters facilities and related real estate
development matters, sales and marketing activities, general and
administrative matters and capital expenditures. Altair does not
have any agreements or binding commitments for any such
acquisitions or investments at this time.
