Alignment Healthcare Announces Private Convertible Senior Notes Transaction
November 15 2024 - 6:00AM
Alignment Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALHC) (the “Company”) today
announced that it has entered into privately negotiated
subscription agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which
it will issue $330 million principal amount of 4.25% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The issuance of the Notes is
expected to close on November 22, 2024, subject to customary
closing conditions.
The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company,
and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of
4.25% per annum. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2029, unless
earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their
terms. The conversion price for the Notes will initially be
approximately $16.04, which represents a premium of 25% to the
closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 14,
2024.
The Company anticipates the net cash proceeds from the issuance
of the Notes will be approximately $321.05 million, after
subtracting fees, discounts, and estimated expenses in connection
with the transaction. The Company intends to use the proceeds to
lower its cost of capital by repaying the Company’s existing term
loan facility, which bears interest at SOFR + 6.5%, and for general
corporate purposes.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company has
been advised that the placement agent for the Notes intends to
purchase approximately 3.442 million shares of the Company’s common
stock in privately negotiated transactions from certain purchasers
of the Notes through a financial intermediary at a discount to the
last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on November
14, 2024. Such purchases by the placement agent of the Company’s
common stock could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in)
the market price of the common stock or the Notes.
Additional information regarding this announcement may be found
in a Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company intends to file
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation
of an offer to buy any of these securities (including the shares of
Company common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the
Notes) and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in
any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is
unlawful.
The Notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
