Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 18, 2019, Invitae Corporation (the “Company”) issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount (the “Additional Notes”) of its 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private offering pursuant to the exercise in full of the previously announced option the Company granted to the initial purchasers of the Notes. The Notes (including the Additional Notes) were issued under the indenture, dated as of September 10, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on September 10, 2019, as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2019 (the “Initial Form 8-K”).

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes (including the Additional Notes) were approximately $339.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The information incorporated by reference in Item 2.03 of the Initial Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference (except to the extent later information in this Report updates or supersedes such information), and such information, including the description of the Notes (including the Additional Notes), is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the form of Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Initial Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The Company issued and sold the Notes (including the Additional Notes) to the initial purchasers in a private offering in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The purchase agreement with the initial purchasers also contemplated the initial resale of the Notes (including the Additional Notes) to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the initial purchasers.

The information contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report with respect to the Notes (including the Additional Notes) is incorporated herein by reference.
