SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN) today announced
that the initial purchasers of the previously announced offering of
its 1.25% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2027 in a
private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended elected to
exercise in full their 13-day option to purchase an additional
$50 million aggregate principal
amount of the notes (the "Additional Notes"). The sale of the
Additional Notes closed today.
The Additional Notes have identical terms to the 1.25% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2027 sold on May 14, 2020 (the "Original Notes" and, together
with the Additional Notes, the "Notes") and, following today's
closing, there is a total of $600
million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. The
aggregate net proceeds from the offering of the Notes was
approximately $585.8 million after
deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and
estimated expenses payable by BioMarin. BioMarin used approximately
$50.0 million of the net proceeds
from the offering to repurchase shares of its common stock
concurrently with the offering of the Original Notes in privately
negotiated transactions with purchasers of the notes effected
through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate, as
BioMarin's agent. BioMarin intends to use a majority of the net
proceeds from the offering of the Notes to repay, repurchase or
settle in cash some or all of its 1.50% senior subordinated
convertible notes due in 2020, although it did not effect any such
repayment, repurchase or settlement concurrently with the offering.
BioMarin intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for
general corporate purposes.
The offer and sale of the Notes and the shares of BioMarin
common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws,
and unless so registered, the Notes and such shares may not be
offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from,
or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it
constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
