Prospectus Supplement No. 1

(to Prospectus dated July 26, 2019)

 


 

This Prospectus Supplement No. 1 supplements the prospectus, dated July 26, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 6, 2019, and which forms a part of our Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to our Registration Statement on Form S-3 on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-211513). This Prospectus Supplement No. 1 is being filed to update, amend and supplement the information included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus with the information contained in our current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on August 8, 2019 (the “Current Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this Prospectus Supplement No. 1.

 

The Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement No. 1 relate to the registration of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 2.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “notes”) and the shares of our common stock, par value $0.01, issuable upon conversion of the notes for resale by the selling securityholders identified in the Prospectus.

 

This Prospectus Supplement No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and is qualified by reference to the Prospectus except to the extent that the information in this Prospectus Supplement No. 1 supersedes the information contained in the Prospectus.

 

The notes are not listed on any securities exchange. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and trades under the symbol “SYMC.” On August 8, 2019, the closing sale price of our common stock was $22.92 per share.

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of the Prospectus, as well as those risk factors contained in the accompanying prospectus supplements and the documents included or incorporated by reference herein or therein.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if the Prospectus or this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this Prospectus Supplement No. 1 is August 8, 2019.

Item 2.05. Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

On August 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a fiscal 2020 restructuring plan to improve productivity and reduce complexity in the way the Company manages its business. The Company expects to reduce net global headcount by approximately 7%. The Company also plans to downsize, vacate or close certain facilities and data centers in connection with the restructuring plan. The Company estimates that it will incur total costs in connection with the restructuring of approximately $100 million, approximately $75 million for severance and termination benefits and $25 million for site closures. These charges will primarily consist of severance related cash payments. These actions are expected to be completed in fiscal 2020.
