MicroStrategy Completes a 2.25 Percent Convertible-Offering of $800 Million

The platform noted that the notes’ cumulative principal figure in the offering was approximately $800 million. The respective amount reportedly included a $100M aggregate principal figure of notes with the purchase option. The platform sold the notes via a private offering. It targeted the people who reportedly operate as eligible institutional purchasers in line with Rule 144A. The respective rule lies within the Securities Act of 1933.

According to MicroStrategy, the notes bear an interest rate of almost 2.25% per year. In addition to this, the notes are not secured and can be paid semi-annually through arrears. The users can pay them on the 15th of June as well as the 15th of December each year. This timeline is going to start on the 15th December of 2024.

Unless seeing an earlier repurchase, conversion, or withdrawal, the notes will reportedly mature on the 15th of June in 2032. The note holders may need to require the platform to rebuy the notes on the 15th of June in 2029 or on particular events. Such incidents may constitute a basic change in line with the indenture controlling the notes in the case of a repurchase price equaling 100% of the notes’ principal amount.

The users can convert the notes into cash or the shares of Class A stock of MicroStrategy. Initially, 0.4894 shares denote the conversion rate per $1K principal amount. According to MicroStrategy, it intends to utilize the net sale proceeds to purchase more Bitcoin to meet general corporate objectives.
