FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE
CSG Systems International Announces Proposed Offering of
Convertible Senior Notes
DENVER, CO - (September 5, 2023) CSG Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGS) today announced it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). CSG also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the first date on which the notes are issued. The notes will be CSG’s senior unsecured obligations.
The notes will mature on September 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. CSG will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligations in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted, based on the then applicable conversion rate. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering.
After deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and CSG’s estimated offering expenses, CSG intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to (i) pay the cost of capped call transactions (as described below), (ii) repurchase up to $100.0 million of shares of CSG’s common stock pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program concurrently with the pricing of the offering of the notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliates, as CSG’s agent, and (iii) add up to $15.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering as cash to CSG’s balance sheet. CSG intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving loan facility.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, CSG expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to CSG’s common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any cash payments CSG is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, CSG expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to CSG’s common stock and/or purchase shares of CSG’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of CSG’s common stock or the notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to CSG’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling CSG’s common stock or other securities of CSG in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so (x) during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following any optional redemption or repurchase of notes by CSG in connection with any fundamental change and (y) following any repurchase of notes by CSG other than in connection with an optional redemption or fundamental change if CSG elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of CSG’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the number of shares, if any, and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.
The notes and any shares of CSG’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The notes and any such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons absent registration under, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any shares of CSG’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor will there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the notes or any such shares of CSG’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on assumptions about a number of important factors and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears in this news release. With respect to the offering, such factors, risks and uncertainties include whether CSG will offer the notes or consummate the offering on the terms contemplated or at all, the anticipated terms of, and the effects of entering into, including the potential impact on dilution to CSG’s common stock or on the market price of CSG’s common stock or the notes of, the capped call transactions and the anticipated use of proceeds from the offering. Other key factors include, but are not limited to the following items:
This list is not exhaustive, and readers are encouraged to review the additional risks and important factors described in CSG’s reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CSG undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE
CSG Systems International Announces Upsize and Pricing of
$375 Million Private Offering of 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes
DENVER, CO - (September 6, 2023) CSG Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGS) today announced the pricing of its private offering of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). CSG also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the first date on which the notes are issued. The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $350.0 million. The offering is expected to close on September 11, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes will be CSG’s senior unsecured obligations. The notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2024. The notes will mature on September 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
Before June 15, 2028, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. On or after June 15, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time regardless of these conditions. CSG will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligations in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted, based on the then applicable conversion rate. The notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 14.0753 shares of CSG’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $71.05 per share of CSG’s common stock (which represents a premium of 32.5% over the last reported sale price per share of CSG’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on September 6, 2023). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, upon certain corporate events or upon a notice of redemption (as described below), CSG will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for noteholders who convert notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be.
CSG may not redeem the notes prior to September 21, 2026. On or after September 21, 2026, CSG may redeem for cash all or part of the notes if the last reported sale price of CSG’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which CSG provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If a “fundamental change” (as will be defined in the indenture governing the notes) occurs, then, subject to limited exceptions, noteholders may require CSG to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
CSG expects to receive approximately $363.0 million of net proceeds from the offering of the notes (or approximately $411.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by CSG. CSG intends to (i) use approximately $30.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to pay the cost of capped call transactions (as described below), (ii) use approximately $90.0 million of the net proceeds to repurchase shares of CSG’s common stock pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program concurrently with the pricing of the offering of the notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate, as CSG’s agent, and (iii) add up to $15.0 million of the net proceeds as cash to CSG’s balance sheet. CSG intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving loan facility.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, CSG entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to CSG’s common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any cash payments CSG is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be approximately $96.52 per share of CSG’s common stock (which represents a premium of 80% over the last reported sale price per share of CSG’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on September 6, 2023), and is subject to customary adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, CSG expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to CSG’s common stock and/or purchase shares of CSG’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of CSG’s common stock or the notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to CSG’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling CSG’s common stock or other securities of CSG in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so (x) during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following any optional redemption or repurchase of notes by CSG in connection with any fundamental change and (y) following any repurchase of notes by CSG other than in connection with an optional redemption or fundamental change if CSG elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of CSG’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the number of shares, if any, and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE
CSG Systems International Announces
An Increase in Share Repurchase Authorization
DENVER, CO - (September 5, 2023) CSG Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGS) today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the authorization under CSG’s existing Stock Repurchase Program by an additional $100 million. This new authorization was in part due to the fact that CSG expects to enter into privately negotiated transactions in connection with its offering of convertible senior notes to repurchase substantially all of the remaining shares authorized under the prior repurchase authorization.
Under the authorization, purchases of CSG’s common stock may be made from time to time at CSG’s discretion through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The actual timing and amount of share repurchases will be dependent on the then-current market conditions and other business-related factors. CSG undertakes no obligation to repurchase any shares under the Stock Repurchase Program.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
