Lucid Group has announced a significant financial maneuver with the launch of $875 million in convertible senior notes due 2031, aimed at qualified institutional buyers. This strategic move includes an option for initial purchasers to acquire an additional $100 million in notes within 13 days of issuance. The proceeds are earmarked for repurchasing a portion of Lucid’s existing 1.25% convertible notes due in 2026 and for general corporate purposes, reflecting the company’s proactive approach to managing its debt and liquidity.
The notes, which are senior unsecured obligations, will accrue interest semi-annually and are set to mature on November 1, 2031. Lucid retains the option to settle conversions in cash, shares, or a combination of both, and may redeem the notes under specific conditions starting November 2028. In a related development, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, through its subsidiary Ayar, is supporting Lucid by entering a prepaid forward transaction to purchase Lucid’s common stock. This could influence Lucid’s stock price and conversion price of the notes. These financial strategies underscore Lucid’s efforts to strengthen its market position and ensure financial flexibility as it continues to innovate in the electric vehicle sector.
