Unisys Corporation Announces Closing of $190 Million Offering of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes
BLUE BELL, Pa., March 15, 2016 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) ("Unisys") announced today that it has closed its previously announced offering of $190 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the "notes"). The proceeds from the offering, net of the initial purchasers' discount and the cost of the capped call transactions discussed below, are approximately $160.0 million. Unisys intends to use these net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include funding cost reduction and savings initiatives, obligations under its defined benefit pension plans, investments in next-generation services and technologies and repaying existing debt. Among these possible actions, Unisys may use the net proceeds from the offering to help address the maturity of the notes due 2017.
As previously announced, Unisys entered into capped call transactions with respect to the notes. These capped call transactions effectively raise the conversion premium on the notes from approximately 22.50% to approximately 60%, which raises the initial conversion price of approximately $9.76 per share of common stock to approximately $12.75 per share of common stock.
Unisys also granted an option to purchase up to an additional $28.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes on the same terms and conditions, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If this option to purchase additional notes is exercised, Unisys may enter into additional capped call transactions with respect to the additional notes.
