Amkor Technology announces proposed convertible senior notes offering

Amkor Technology (AMKR) announced its intention to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior, unsecured basis, by each subsidiary of Amkor that currently or in the future guarantees its 5.875% senior notes due 2033. Amkor also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes. The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Amkor, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on July 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Noteholders will have the right to convert their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. Amkor will settle conversions in cash and, if applicable, shares of its common stock. The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at Amkor’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 15, 2029 and on or before the 20th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Amkor’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
