LivaNova Announces Proposed Private Offering of $300 Million of Convertible Senior Notes

LivaNova PLC (Nasdaq: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology company, today announced its intention to offer $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “notes”) in a private offering only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to market conditions and other factors. LivaNova also intends to grant to the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of the notes.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of LivaNova. Prior to December 15, 2028, the notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions. On or after December 15, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the notes may be converted at any time. LivaNova will satisfy any conversion of notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of such notes being converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, ordinary shares of LivaNova, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, at LivaNova’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of LivaNova’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such notes being converted.

The notes will mature on March 15, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. LivaNova may redeem the notes at its option, on or after March 22, 2027, in whole or in part, if the last reported sale price of LivaNova’s ordinary shares 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 LivaNova provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. LivaNova may also redeem the notes at its option, at any time, in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain tax-related events.
