New Issue: SoFi Technologies prices upsized $1.1 billion five-year convertibles at 0%, up 40%

By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Sept. 30 – SoFi Technologies Inc. priced an upsized $1.1 billion offering of five-year convertible notes after the market close on Wednesday at par with a coupon of 0% and an initial conversion premium of 40%, according to a company news release.

Pricing came at the rich end of price talk for a coupon of 0% to 0.5% and at the midpoint of talk for an initial conversion premium of 37.5% to 42.5%, according to a market source.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Allen & Co. LLC were bookrunners for the Rule 144A offering, which carries a downsized greenshoe of $100 million.

The initial size of the offering was $750 million with a greenshoe of $112.5 million.

The notes are non-callable until Oct. 15, 2024 and then are subject to a 130% hurdle.

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

In connection with the offering, the company entered into capped call transactions with a cap price of $32.02, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sales price of stock.

Net proceeds are expected to be $1.078 billion or will be $1.176 billion if the greenshoe is exercised in full.

Approximately $104.3 million of net proceeds will be used to cover the cost of the call spread with remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

SoFi Technologies is a San Francisco-based online personal finance company.
