On November 10, 2017, Insulet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), closed its previously announced issuance and sale (the
Convertible Notes Offering) of $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Companys 1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the Convertible Notes) pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement, dated
November 7, 2017 (the Purchase Agreement), by and between the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, as the representatives of the initial purchasers (the Initial Purchasers). The
principal amount of Convertible Notes includes $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes that was purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an option granted to the Initial Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement, which
was exercised in full by the Initial Purchasers on November 8, 2017. The Initial Purchasers will sell the Convertible Notes solely to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The estimated net proceeds from the offering were approximately $391.4 million, after deducting selling discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture, dated as of November 10, 2017 (the Indenture), between the Company and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the Trustee). The Convertible Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in
arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2018. The Convertible Notes will mature on November 15, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted by holders. The Convertible
Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 10.7315 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock), per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to an initial
conversion price of approximately $93.18 per share of Common Stock and represents a conversion premium of approximately 30% based on the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of $71.68 on November 7, 2017. The conversion rate is subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of stock dividends and payment of cash dividends. At any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding
August 15, 2024, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option only under the following circumstances:
|
|
|
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading
days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price on each applicable
trading day;
|
|
|
|
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of
the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on such trading day;
|
|
|
|
if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
|
|
|
|
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
|
On or after August 15, 2024 until the close of
business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions has been met. If a make-whole fundamental change, as
described in the Indenture, occurs and a holder elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate as described in the Indenture. Upon
conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, at the Companys election.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to November 15, 2021. The Company may redeem the
Convertible Notes, at the Companys option, in whole or in part, on or after November 15, 2021 and prior to the maturity date if the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then
in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending within five trading days prior to the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to
periodically redeem or retire the Convertible Notes. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a part of their Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
The Indenture does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the
issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
involving the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the
principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Convertible Notes to be due and payable. Upon any such declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. Upon the
occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Convertible Notes will become due and payable automatically.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain
failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture shall, for the first 360 days after the occurrence of such an event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Convertible
Notes.
The above description of the Indenture and the Convertible Notes is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture
(and the Form of Global Note included therein), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association has in the past provided and may from time to time in the future provide trustee, registrar, exchange agent, conversion agent, paying agent and other services to the Company.
