Exhibit 99.1
Accuray Announces Convertible Notes Exchange and Subscription
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 6, 2021 — Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) today announced that it has entered into privately negotiated agreements with the holders of its existing 3.75% senior convertible notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) to exchange an aggregate of $82.1 million principal amount of 2022 Notes for approximately $97.1 million aggregate principal amount of a new series of 3.75% senior convertible notes due 2026 (the “New Notes” and such transaction, the “Exchange”). Accuray will also sell approximately $2.9 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes for cash (the “Subscription” and, together with the Exchange, the “Transactions”). The Transactions are expected to close on or about May 13, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. Accuray anticipates $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes and $2.9 million of the 2022 Notes will be outstanding following closing of the Transactions.
Accuray estimates that the gross proceeds from the Subscription will be approximately $2.9 million, excluding fees and other offering expenses payable by Accuray. Accuray intends to use all of the net proceeds from the Subscription, together with a portion of its cash on hand, to repurchase an aggregate of approximately 3.1 million shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions with a financial intermediary at a price per share of $4.51, equal to the last reported sale price of Accuray common stock on May 6, 2021, in order to facilitate the Exchange. These repurchases could increase, or prevent a decrease in, the market price of Accuray’s common stock or the New Notes.
The New Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Accuray, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate will be 170.5611 shares of Accuray common stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.86 per share), subject to customary adjustments. The initial conversion price of the New Notes represents a premium of approximately 30% over the last reported sale price of Accuray’s common stock on May 6, 2021. The New Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Accuray’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Accuray’s common stock, at Accuray’s election. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2026, the New Notes will be convertible at the option of holders only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Thereafter, holders of the New Notes may convert their new Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
Accuray may redeem for cash all or any portion of the New Notes, at its option, on or after June 5, 2024 if the last reported sale price of Accuray’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Accuray provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Accuray provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If Accuray elects to redeem all or a portion of the New Notes, or upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, Accuray will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert New Notes during the related redemption period or in connection with such corporate event. If Accuray undergoes a “fundamental change,” holders of the New Notes may require Accuray to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their New
