Note 22 Subsequent Events

 

In January 2024, we completed a private offering of $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible 144A Notes”) in accordance with the terms of a note purchase agreement (the “144A Note Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”). The $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Convertible 144A Notes included $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Convertible 144A Notes purchased on the Closing Date by the Initial Purchaser in accordance with its exercise in full of its option to purchase additional 2029 Convertible 144A Notes under the 144A Note Purchase Agreement.

 

We received net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes of approximately $222.0 million, after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We used approximately $50.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes to repurchase shares of our Common Stock from purchasers of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through the Initial Purchaser or its affiliate.  The purchase price per share of the Common Stock repurchased in such transactions equaled the closing sale price of the Common Stock on January 4, 2024, which was $0.9067 per share. Also, contemporaneously with the pricing of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes, we entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our outstanding 2025 Notes to repurchase, on the closing date, approximately $144.4 million aggregate principal amount of such notes. We effected such repurchases for cash, using $146.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes.

 

Additionally, we issued and sold approximately $71.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes” and, together with the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes, the “2029 Convertible Notes” of the "notes") pursuant to the terms of a note purchase agreement entered into on January 4, 2024 (the “Affiliate Note Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain investors including, Frost Gamma Investments Trust, a trust controlled by Phillip Frost, M.D., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jane H. Hsiao, Ph.D., MBA, our Vice-Chairman and Chief Technical Officer (collectively, the “Affiliate Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Affiliate Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold the 2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes to the Affiliate Purchasers in exchange for the entirety of the $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes, together with approximately $16.1 million of accrued but unpaid interest thereon, held by the Affiliate Purchasers. Following such exchange, no 2023 Convertible Notes remained outstanding.

 

Holders may convert their 2029 Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2028 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “convertible note measurement period”) in which the trading price  per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the convertible note measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Common Stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events specified in the indenture governing the 2029 Convertible Notes. On or after September 15, 2028 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion of a note, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock, at our election. However, we will be required to elect to deliver solely cash or, subject to certain limitations, a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock upon conversion, unless and until we have duly authorized and reserved for issuance (by all necessary corporate action and arrangements with the transfer agent for our Common Stock) upon conversion of the notes a number of authorized shares of our Common Stock that have not been issued or reserved for any other purpose, and/or a number of treasury shares of our Common Stock that have not been reserved for any other purpose, equal to the maximum number of underlying shares.

 

The conversion rate is initially equal to 869.5652 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.15 per share of Common Stock). The conversion rate for the 2029 Convertible Notes will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the notes, in certain circumstances we will increase the conversion rate of the 2029 Convertible Notes for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event.

 

We may not redeem the notes prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the notes. If we undergo a fundamental change, holders may require us to purchase the notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date. The 2029 Convertible Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, and equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated. The notes are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries (including, without limitation, liabilities of our subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement).

 

The indenture governing the notes provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, the following: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in the indenture; defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness; judgment defaults; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the indenture, the trustee thereunder or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any on all then-outstanding notes to be immediately due and payable.  In certain circumstances, we may, for a period of time, elect to pay additional interest on the notes as the sole remedy to holders of the notes in the case of an event of default related to certain failures by us to comply with certain reporting covenants in the indenture.

 

Effective January 22, 2024, the Company terminated its share lending agreement, dated as of February 4, 2019 (the “Share Lending Agreement”), entered into with Jefferies Capital Services, LLC (the “Share Borrower”), pursuant to which the Company lent to the Share Borrower approximately 30 million shares of its Common Stock in connection with the 2019 issuance of its $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The amount of outstanding borrowed shares was subsequently reduced by approximately 8,313,000 shares and concurrent with the termination of the Share Lending Agreement, all shares have been returned to the Company to be held as treasury shares.
