Insulet Corporation Announces Pricing Of Convertible Senior Notes

BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwired - June 04, 2014) - Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) today announced the pricing of a public offering of $175 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “notes”). The notes will bear interest at an annual rate of 2.00% and will mature on June 15, 2019, unless earlier converted, purchased or redeemed. Insulet also granted the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional $26.25 million principal amount of notes to cover over-allotments, if any.

The notes will be convertible prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2019 only under certain circumstances and during certain periods, and will be convertible on or after March 15, 2019 regardless of those circumstances. The conversion rate will initially be 21.5019 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $46.51 per share of Insulet common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled, at Insulet’s election, in cash, shares of Insulet’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Insulet’s common stock.

Insulet estimates that the net proceeds from the notes offering will be approximately $169.3 million (or $194.7 million if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full), after deducting the underwriter’s discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Insulet (after giving effect to reimbursement from the underwriter for certain expenses).

Insulet intends to use approximately $120 million of the net proceeds from the notes offering to repurchase approximately $86 million principal amount of its outstanding 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016 pursuant to individually negotiated transactions. The amount paid to repurchase these notes includes approximately $1.6 million of accrued interest. The repurchases are expected to take place concurrently with the closing of the notes offering. Insulet intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include financing redemptions, repurchases and / or the settlement of conversions of Insulet’s existing 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2016.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager for the notes offering.

J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC and Perella Weinberg Partners LP are acting as financial advisors for the notes offering.
