Exhibit 99.2
Box, Inc. Announces Pricing of Offering of $315 Million of Convertible Senior Notes
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., January 12, 2021 — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX), a leader in cloud content management, today announced the pricing of $315 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Box 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 January 14, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes will be general senior, unsecured obligations of Box, will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. The notes will mature on January 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. The initial conversion rate will be 38.7665 shares of Box’s Class A common stock (“common stock”) per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.80 per share of common stock). The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 45% over the last reported sale price of Box’s common stock on The New York Stock Exchange on January 11, 2021. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Box’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Box’s common stock, at Box’s election.
Box may redeem the notes, at its option, on or after January 20, 2024, if the last reported sale price of Box’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 Box 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 special 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 Box 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 special interest. In addition, following certain corporate events or if Box issues a notice of redemption, Box 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.
Box estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $306.3 million (or $335.6 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 Box. Box intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below and the remainder of the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, such as repayment of debt and potential acquisitions. While Box has not designated any specific uses and has no current agreements with respect to any material acquisition, Box is examining potential acquisitions. It is possible that Box may not be able to complete such acquisitions on favorable terms or complete them at all. Box does not anticipate that any of these potential acquisitions would be “significant” for purposes of Rule 3-05 of Article II of Regulation S-X.
