New Issue: Concur prices upsized $425 million five-year convertible notes at 0.5%, up 32.5%

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, May 30 - Concur Technologies Inc. priced an upsized $425 million of five-year convertible senior notes late Wednesday at par to yield 0.5% with an initial conversion premium of 32.5%, according to a news release.

The Rule 144A deal was initially talked at $350 million in size. There is a $63.75 million greenshoe that was upsized from an initially talked $52.5 million.

Pricing came at the tight, or rich, end of talk, which was for a 0.5% to 1% coupon and a 27.5% to 32.5% premium.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. were the joint bookrunners.

The notes are non-callable. They have net share settlement and contingent conversion at a 130% price hurdle, as well as takeover protection and standard dividend protection.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and strategic transactions, and to pay the net cost of a call spread.

In connection with the notes offering, Concur entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions.

Redmond, Wash.-based Concur provides integrated travel and expense management services for companies.
