Wayfair Inc. Prices Offering of $600 million Convertible Senior Notes
BOSTON—Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) (the “Company,” “we” or “Wayfair”) announced today the pricing of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “notes”) in a private offering (the “offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the offering, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the initial issuance date of the notes, up to an additional $90 million aggregate principal amount of notes.
The notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2023. The notes will mature on November 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. Prior to August 15, 2028, the notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods. Thereafter, the notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Company may not redeem the notes prior to May 20, 2026. On or after May 20, 2026, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the notes if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A 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 at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The notes will be convertible at the option of holders, subject to certain conditions and during certain periods, into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, with the form of consideration determined at the Company’s election. Holders of the notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of certain events. The conversion rate will initially be 21.8341 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $45.80 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock). The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 25.0% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, which was $36.64 per share. The sale of the notes is expected to close on May 12, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
