Quotient Technology Inc. Announces Pricing of $175 Million Convertible Notes Offering

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--()--Quotient Technology Inc. (“Quotient”) (NYSE: QUOT) today announced the pricing of its offering of $175 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2022 (the “notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Quotient has granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $25 million aggregate principal amount of the notes within a 13-day period from, and including, the initial issuance date of the notes. The sale of the notes to the initial purchasers is expected to settle on November 17, 2017, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and is expected to result in approximately $169.5 million in net proceeds to Quotient after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Quotient (assuming no exercise of the initial purchasers’ option).

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Quotient. The notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per year. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2018. The notes will mature on December 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Quotient intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, repurchases of Quotient’s common stock pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program, potential acquisitions and strategic transactions.

The initial conversion rate for the notes is 57.6037 shares of Quotient’s common stock (“common stock”) per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $17.36 per share) and is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2022, the notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders upon satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. Thereafter, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time regardless of these conditions. Conversions of the notes will be settled in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at Quotient’s election. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 40.0% over the last reported sale price of Quotient’s common stock on November 14, 2017 of $12.40 per share on The New York Stock Exchange.

Quotient may redeem the notes, at its option, on or after December 5, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest if the last reported sale price of Quotient’s common stock 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 ending within not more than three trading days preceding the date on which Quotient provides written notice of redemption.

Holders of notes may require Quotient to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental change under the indenture governing the notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In connection with certain corporate events or if Quotient issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful. Any offer of the securities will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. The notes and the shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, will not be registered under the Act or any state securities law, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state securities laws.
