Business Wire
Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) (the “Company”) today
announced the full exercise of the over-allotment option for its
offering of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the
“Convertible Notes”), raising an additional $50,000,000 and
bringing the total gross proceeds from the Convertible Notes
offering to $400,000,000. This announcement follows the Company’s
announcements last week of the closing of its offering of
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Notes due
2029 (the “Senior Notes”), as well as the early settlement of its
previously announced cash tender offers, resulting in the
repurchase of $82,842,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.800%
senior notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes”) and $362,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 5.000% senior notes due 2025 (“2025
Notes”).
“The recently completed note offerings and repurchase of our
2024 and 2025 Notes greatly enhance the Company’s financial
flexibility as we execute Xerox’s Reinvention and invest in our
growing Digital and IT businesses,” said Xavier Heiss, Chief
Financial Officer of Xerox Holdings Corporation. “We intend to use
the remaining net proceeds to repay the balance of the 2024 Notes
at maturity and a portion of our other outstanding indebtedness,
resulting in a cost-effective extension of our debt maturity
profile. We are pleased with the outcome of the note offerings,
with strong demand for both the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes
allowing us to upsize the final issuance size of each
offering.”
The aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes is
convertible into cash only and the remainder, if any, can be
settled in cash, stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s
election. To further reduce potential dilution to the holders of
the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the Convertible
Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call
transactions which effectively raise the strike price on the
Convertible Notes from $20.84 to $28.34 (~70% effective conversion
premium relative to the last reported sale price as of the pricing
date of March 6, 2024).
The offerings of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were
made in private placements to persons reasonably believed to be
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and, in the case of
the Senior Notes offering, to non-U.S. persons outside the United
States pursuant to Regulation S under the Act.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a
solicitation of an offer to buy, the Convertible Notes or the
Senior Notes, the related guarantees or any other security, and
shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any
securities in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any persons
to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. In
addition, this press release shall not constitute an offer to
purchase or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the 2024 Notes
or the 2025 Notes. Any tender offer will be made solely pursuant to
an offer to purchase to the holders of the 2024 Notes and the 2025
Notes.
