Opendoor Technologies Inc. Announces Proposed Convertible Senior Notes Offering
SAN FRANCISCO, CaliforniaAugust 16, 2021Opendoor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: OPEN) (Opendoor), a leading digital platform for
residential real estate, today announced its intention to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the notes) in a private offering to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). Opendoor also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13
days from, and including, the date when the notes are first issued, up to an additional $112,500,000 principal amount of notes.
The notes will be senior,
unsecured obligations of Opendoor, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on August 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Noteholders will have the right to convert their notes in certain
circumstances and during specified periods. Opendoor will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination
of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted based on the applicable conversion rate(s). The notes
will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Opendoors option at any time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after August 20, 2024 and before the 36th scheduled trading day
immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Opendoors common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain liquidity conditions have been satisfied. The
redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be
determined at the pricing of the offering.
Opendoor intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the
capped call transactions described below. Opendoor intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then Opendoor intends
to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below.
In connection
with the pricing of the notes, Opendoor expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the option counterparties).
The capped call transactions are expected to cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of Opendoors common stock that will initially underlie the notes. If the
initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Opendoor expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
