Motorola Solutions (MSI) and Silver Lake said Thursday they will
extend their strategic partnership, with Silver Lake making a new
$1 billion investment in Motorola Solutions, and settling its
outstanding $800 million aggregate principal investment one year
ahead of its maturity.
The companies said Egon Durban and Greg Mondre, managing
partners and managing directors of Silver Lake, will remain on the
Motorola Solutions board.
Under the terms of the new agreement, Silver Lake will buy $1
billion of 1.75% convertible senior unsecured notes due 2024 using
capital from a more recent fund to extend Silver Lake's commitment
and enable a longer hold period.
The notes will have an initial conversion price of $203.50 a
share, and will mature in September 2024 unless earlier
repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The companies also said they will settle outstanding $800
million in principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior unsecured
notes due 2020. Motorola Solutions will pay Silver Lake $1.1
billion in cash and issue about 5.5 million shares.
Motorola Solutions said Thursday an underwritten public offering
of 5.5 million shares was being offered by entities affiliated with
Silver Lake to Morgan Stanley as sole underwriter of the
offering.
The offering is expected to close Sept. 9, and the selling
security holders will receive all of the proceeds from the
offering. Motorola Solutions isn't selling any shares and won't
receive any proceeds from the offering.
