New Issue: IHOP gives terms for $35 million sale of convertible preferreds

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Dec. 5 - IHOP Corp. announced details of its $35 million private placement of convertible preferred stock in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company said it sold 35,000 shares of its series B convertible preferred stock to affiliates of Chilton Investment Co., LLC. Each preferred share was priced at $1,000.

The value of the preferred will increase at a rate of 6% per year, compounded quarterly.

Each $1,000 accreted value of preferred shares is convertible into 14.44878 common shares. That ratio is equivalent to a conversion price of about $69.21.

All of the preferreds will be automatically converted five years after issuance.

The placement was conducted under a July 15 purchase agreement between IHOP and Chilton, according to the filing.

Proceeds of the deals were used to financing IHOP's acquisition of Applebee's International, Inc., which closed on Thursday.

IHOP is a restaurant chain based in Glendale, Calif.
