Consolidated Tomoka Announces Pricing of $75 Million of Convertible Notes Due 2020

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--()--Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT:CTO) (the “Company”) announced today the pricing of its offering of $75 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering is expected to close March 11, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be convertible into, subject to various conditions, at the Company’s option: cash, common stock or a combination thereof. The Company expects to use the approximately $71.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay approximately $47.5 million of borrowings under its credit facility, to fund future investments in income-producing assets and for other general corporate purposes, which may include the repurchase of common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The initial conversion rate is 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which equates to an initial conversion price of approximately $68.90 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 27.5% to the $54.04 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE MKT on March 5, 2015. Should certain corporate transactions or events occur prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate transaction or event.

The offering is being made to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Notes nor any shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have been or are expected to be registered under the Securities Act, or under any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
