EX-99 2 e991_0524-2001.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Amdocs Prices $500 Million Offering of Senior Convertible Notes ST. LOUIS, MO - May 24, 2001 - Amdocs Limited (NYSE: DOX) today announced further details regarding the terms of the private placement of 7-year 2.0% Senior Convertible Notes. Gross proceeds to Amdocs from the sale of the notes, which were issued at par, were approximately $500 million, with up to another $100 million in proceeds if the initial purchaser's option to acquire additional notes is exercised within the allotted 30 days. The notes are convertible into Ordinary Shares at a conversion rate of 10.86 shares per $1,000.00 principal value. This represents a conversion premium of 43% to yesterday's $64.40 closing price of Amdocs' Ordinary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange. The offering allows Amdocs to raise capital at attractive terms. While the Company has no immediate needs for these funds, the proceeds may be used for future possible strategic opportunities including acquisitions, as well as other general corporate uses. The notes can be put to Amdocs on the third and fifth anniversary of the issue date at par and can be repaid in cash or stock at Amdocs' option. The notes are callable by Amdocs any time after the fifth anniversary of the issue date, at par. The transaction is expected to close on May 30, 2001 subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Amdocs has agreed to file a registration statement within 90 days of closing.
