Bloomin' Brands (BLMN) 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Exhibit 99.1

Illustrative Effect of Potential Dilutive Impact of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025

UNAUDITED

On May 8, 2020, Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. closed on its offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) and the initial purchasers of the Notes (the “Initial Purchasers”) provided notice of exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional $30 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Option Notes”), which is expected to close on May 12, 2020. The initial conversion rate applicable to the Notes is 84.122 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.89 per share of our common stock. These Notes have a dilutive effect on GAAP earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) while the Notes are outstanding, but once converted or settled, there is anticipated to be no actual dilution as we entered into a bond hedge that is intended to offset the actual dilution related to these Notes. The bond hedge is not included in the calculation of GAAP EPS as it is anti-dilutive.

On May 8, 2020, we also sold warrants for approximately 19.348 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes and Option Notes in full (based on the initial conversion rate of 84.122 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). The warrants have an initial strike price of $16.64. These warrants could separately have a dilutive effect on GAAP EPS to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price and could cause actual dilution.

The following table illustrates the potential dilutive shares of our common stock that would be included in the calculation of our future reported GAAP EPS assuming various hypothetical quarterly average market prices of our common stock at the initial conversion rate. The potential dilutive shares are calculated using the treasury stock method.
