Lumentum Holdings Inc. Announces $750 Million Convertible Notes Offering

LITE

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum") (NASDAQ: LITE) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $750 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2028 (the "notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Lumentum also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $112.5 million aggregate principal amount of the notes.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Lumentum, and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes will be convertible at the option of holders, subject to certain conditions and during certain periods, into cash, shares of Lumentum's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Lumentum's common stock, with the form of consideration at Lumentum's election. The interest rate, conversion rate and certain other terms of the notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering.

Lumentum intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to purchase up to approximately $250 million of its common stock concurrently with the pricing of this offering in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers of the notes or its affiliate, as Lumentum's agent. Lumentum intends to use the remaining net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures and working capital.

The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act. Neither the notes nor the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have been, nor will be, registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
