New Issue: Japan's Oki Electric prices ¥30 billion of three-, five-year convertibles at 0%, up 45.17%

By Kenneth Lim

Boston, June 8 - Japan's Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd. priced ¥30 billion of zero-coupon convertible bonds in two tranches at an initial conversion premium of 45.17% over its Wednesday closing stock price.

The ¥18 billion 31st series comprises three-year bonds, while the ¥12 billion 32nd series comprises five-year bonds.

The conversion price is ¥376 per share. Oki stock closed at ¥259 on Wednesday.

The conversion price for the 31st series will be reset every month to 93% of the five-day average closing stock price subject to a ¥250.4 floor. The conversion price for the 32nd series will be reset quarterly to 93% of the five-day average closing stock price, but the floor is ¥291.

There is no call protection on the 31st series. The 32nd series may be called at par subject to a hurdle of 120% of the conversion price, but the convertible may be called at any time in the first year at 102% of the principal and at 104% of the principal after that.

Convertible holders may put the 31st series bonds at par if Oki stock closes below ¥219.1, while the 32nd series convertibles may be put for 104% of the principal if Oki stock closes below the same level.

Oki, a Tokyo-based electronics maker, did not say how it would use the proceeds of the deal.
