New Issue: Oil States prices $200 million five-year convertibles to yield 1.5%, up 37.5%

New York, Jan. 25 – Oil States International, Inc. priced $200 million of five-year senior convertible notes after the market close on Thursday with a coupon of 1.5% and an initial conversion premium of 37.5%, according to a news release.

The deal came at the rich end of talk which had been set at a coupon of 1.5% to 2% and an initial conversion premium of 32.5% to 37.5%.

Wells Fargo, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan and RBC are joint bookrunners for the Rule 144A deal.

The notes are non-callable until Feb. 15, 2021, then callable subject to a 130% hurdle.

There are no put options, except upon a fundamental change. There is takeover and dividend protection.

Conversion will be settled in cash, shares or a combination of both at the company’s option.
