Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions | Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions In March 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes in a private placement, including $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment options of the initial purchasers (collectively, the ("Convertible Notes")). The Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchaser discounts and debt issuance costs, paid or payable by us, were approximately $389.0 million. The Company used approximately $39.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay for the Capped Call Transactions (as described below). The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and (i) will be equal in right of payment with the existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under our Existing Loan Agreement or our New Credit Facilities (see Note 15); and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes accrue interest at 0.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2026 unless they are redeemed, repurchased or converted prior to such date. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of holders only during certain periods and upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Holders will have the right to convert their notes (or any portion of a note in an authorized denomination), in the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (ii) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (iii) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (iv) if the Company calls such Convertible Notes for redemption; and (v) on or after September 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may, at their option, convert all or a portion of their Convertible Notes regardless of the foregoing conditions.at any time from, and including, September 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election. All conversions with a conversion date that occurs on or after September 15, 2025 will be settled using the same settlement method, and the Company will send notice of such settlement method to noteholders no later than the open of business on September 15, 2025. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes at their option at any time before March 20, 2024. Subject to the terms of the indenture, the Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any portion (subject to the partial redemption limitation) in an authorized denomination, of the Convertible Notes, at any time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after March 20, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, for cash, but only if the "last reported sale price," as defined under the Offering Memorandum, per share of common stock exceeds 130% of the “conversion price” on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. In addition, calling any note for redemption will constitute a "make-whole fundamental change" (as defined below) with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding notes, then the redemption will not constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to the notes not called for redemption, and holders of the notes not called for redemption will not be entitled to an increased conversion rate for such notes as described above on account of the redemption, except to the limited extent described further below. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Convertible Notes periodically. If a fundamental change occurs, then each noteholder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase its notes (or any portion thereof in an authorized denomination) for cash on a date (the "fundamental change repurchase date") of the Company’s choosing, which must be a business day that is no more than 45, nor less than 20, business days after the date Magnite sends the related fundamental change notice. If an event of default occurs with respect to the Company or any guarantor, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If an event of default (other than an event of default described below with respect to Magnite or any guarantor and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company’s or a guarantor, other than the Company or such guarantor) occurs and is continuing, then, except as described below under the caption —Special interest as sole remedy for certain reporting defaults, the trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of notes then outstanding, by written notice to us and the trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 15.6539 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in certain circumstances. In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with various financial institutions (the "Capped Call Transactions"). The Capped Call Transactions were entered into with third party broker-dealers to limit the potential dilution that would occur if the Company has to settle the conversion value in excess of the principal in shares. This exposure will be covered (i.e., the Company will receive as many shares as are required to be issued between the conversion price of $63.8818 and the maximum price of $91.2600). Any shares required to be issued by the Company over this amount would have net earnings per share dilution impact. By entering into the Capped Call Transactions, the Company expects to reduce the potential dilution to its common stock (or, in the event the conversion is settled in cash, to reduce its cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion its stock price exceeds the conversion price under the Convertible Notes. The Company paid $39.0 million for the Capped Call Transactions, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital, using a portion of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions is not expected to be tax deductible as the Company did not elect to integrate the capped call into the Convertible Notes for tax purposes. The cost of the Capped Call Transaction was recorded as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As noted in Note 1, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The Company has not elected the fair value option, the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated under the accounting guidance, and the convertible debt was not issued with a substantial premium. As such, the Company accounted for the Convertible Notes as a liability in its entirety. Under the guidance, all the embedded features of the Convertible Notes met the definition of a derivative. These features included a contingent call option, contingent put options, and conversion features. The contingent call option and contingent put options are clearly and closely related to the debt host and, therefore, do not require bifurcation. As the conversion features are indexed to the Company’s own equity and would be equity classified if they were freestanding instruments, the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) applies and these conversion features will not be bifurcated under ASC 815. The new accounting guidance also eliminated the bifurcation models of ASC 470-20 and eliminated the treasury method approach to earnings per share. Accordingly, earnings per share on convertible debt instruments should only be calculated under the If-Converted method. Under the guidance above, the Company will assume settlement in shares. The Company will assess at each period end whether the impact of the contingent conversion (e.g., stock price exceeding 130% of the conversion price for 20 days) is dilutive, regardless of whether the stock price contingency has been met. A determination must be made each quarter, if a contingency has been overcome to trigger potential conversion election, whether the conversion option is out of the money or in the money (i.e., is the current share price above or below the conversion price). If the current share price exceeds the conversion price, then the conversion will be dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share. At issuance and at March 31, 2021, the share price did not exceed the conversion prices, and as such, the conversion was anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2021: March 31, 2021 (in thousands) Convertible Notes $ 400,000 Unamortized debt discounts (10,920) Unamortized debt issuance costs (436) Debt, non-current, net of debt issuance costs $ 388,644 Fees and other amounts paid to the creditor were treated as an increase to debt discount. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $11.4 million in March 2021, of which $11.0 million were associated with issuance fees netted against the proceeds and $0.4 million were associated with other deferred financing costs associated with the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are presented net of issuance costs on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are amortized on an effective interest basis over the term of the Convertible Notes and are included in interest expense and amortization of debt discount in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table sets forth interest expense related to the Convertible Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2021: March 31, 2021 (in thousands) Contractual interest expense $ 36 Amortization of debt discount 80 Amortization of debt issuance costs 3 Total interest expense $ 119 Effective interest rate 0.82 % Amortization expense for the Company's debt discount and debt issuance costs for the remainder of 2021 and for fiscal years 2022 through 2026 is as follows: Fiscal Year Debt Discount Debt Issuance Costs Remaining 2021 $ 1,650 $ 66 2022 2,200 88 2023 2,200 88 2024 2,200 88 2025 2,200 88 2026 470 18 Total $ 10,920 $ 436 |
