Rambus Announces the Pricing of Its $150 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering
The notes will be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Rambus and interest will be payable semi-annually at a rate of 5% per annum. The notes will mature on June 15, 2014, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Prior to March 15, 2014, the notes will be convertible only upon specified events and, thereafter until maturity, at any time. Upon conversion, the notes will be settled by the payment of cash up to the principal amount of the notes and, with respect to any excess conversion value, by delivery of shares of Rambus' common stock. The notes will have an initial conversion rate of 51.8000 shares of Rambus' common stock per $1000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.31 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The initial conversion price represents a conversion premium of approximately 30% relative to the last reported sale price of the common stock of $14.85 per share on June 23, 2009. Rambus will have the right to redeem the notes in whole or in part at a specified redemption price at any time on or after June 15, 2012 if certain conditions are met.
Rambus intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include financing potential acquisitions and strategic transactions, repayment of Rambus' zero coupon convertible senior notes due 2010, and working capital.
