Avid Bioservices (NASDAQ:CDMO) stock is falling on Thursday after the contract development and manufacturing company announced the pricing of a private placement.
The private placement includes 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 with an aggregate principal amount of $160 million. The notes mature on March 1, 2029, and accrue interest semiannually on March 1 and Sept. 1 each year.
Avid Bioservices notes that the conversion price for the notes is 101.1250 shares of CDMO stock for each $1,000 principal amount of notes. This represents a price of $9.89 per share, which is a 12.5% premium from the stock’s previous closing price.
Avid Bioservices says this private placement will give it enough funds to repurchase a portion of its 1.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026. It will also be able to repay any of its 2026 senior notes that are not repurchased after this private placement.
