WALTHAM, Mass., July 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ: RGEN) (“Repligen”) today announced the closing of its previously announced concurrent underwritten public offerings of an aggregate of 1,587,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) at a public offering price of $87.00 per share for gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, of approximately $138.1 million, and $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 207,000 additional Shares and $37.5 million additional Notes. The offering of the Shares (the “Shares Offering”) is expected to result in approximately $130.7 million in net proceeds to Repligen after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by Repligen. The offering of the Notes (the “Notes Offering” and, together with the Shares Offering, the “Offerings”) is expected to result in approximately $278.4 million in net proceeds to Repligen after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by Repligen.
Contemporaneously with the closing of the Offerings, Repligen used approximately $68.7 million and approximately 1.38 million shares of its common stock to settle a portion of its previously announced exchanges (the “Notes Exchanges”) for approximately $68.5 million aggregate principal amount of its existing 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2016 Notes”). With the completion of the Notes Exchanges, there will be approximately $46.2 million principal amount of 2016 Notes outstanding. Repligen expects that it will use approximately $23.5 million and approximately 0.47 million shares of its common stock to settle the remainder of its previously announced exchanges for approximately $23.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes. In addition, Repligen issued a notice of redemption in respect of the 2016 Notes, which provides that, on September 23, 2019, Repligen will redeem all 2016 Notes that have not been converted, repurchased or exchanged prior to such date at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Repligen intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offerings for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to fund possible acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses, products, services and technologies. Repligen has not entered into any agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisitions or investments at this time.
