Cutera, Inc. Announces Pricing of Offering of $200 Million and Concurrent Private Placement of $10 Million of Convertible Senior Notes
BRISBANE, Calif., May 25, 2022 — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Cutera, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUTR), a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions, today announced the pricing of $210 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Rule 144A Offering”) and a separate concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act on economic terms substantially similar to the notes being offered in the Rule 144A Offering to certain entities affiliated with J. Daniel Plants, Cutera’s Executive Chairman. Cutera also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $30 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The sale of the notes is expected to close on May 27, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes will be general senior, unsecured obligations of Cutera, and will bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2022. The notes will mature on June 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. The initial conversion rate will be 18.9860 shares of Cutera’s common stock (“common stock”) per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.67 per share of common stock). The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 27.5% over the last reported sale price of Cutera’s common stock on Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 24, 2022. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Cutera’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Cutera’s common stock, at Cutera’s election.
Cutera may redeem the notes, at its option, on or after June 5, 2025, if the last reported sale price of Cutera’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) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Cutera provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) occurs at any time prior to the maturity date, holders of the notes may require Cutera to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events or if Cutera issues a notice of redemption, Cutera will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or during a redemption period.
Cutera estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $202.8 million (or approximately $231.9 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Cutera. Cutera intends to use approximately $27.5 million of the net proceeds to pay the aggregate cost of the capped call transactions described below. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Cutera expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such
