Company has now repurchased or exchanged at a discount approximately $147 million, or 91% of aggregate principal amount, of the $162 million of the convertible notes
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company”), a technology leader in 5G mobile and fixed wireless solutions for mobile network operators, Fortune 500 enterprises and SMBs, announced today that it has completed its initiative to overhaul the Company’s capital structure to reduce total debt and restructure its outstanding 3.25% convertible notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”).
On November 6, 2024, the Company executed the exchange (the “Exchange Transactions”) of $91.5 million of face value of the 2025 Convertible Notes held by certain holders (the “Exchanging Noteholders”) pursuant to agreements that were previously entered into. In connection with the Exchange Transactions, the Company issued to the Exchanging Noteholders in concurrent private placement transactions an aggregate of (i) approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), (ii) approximately $40.9 million in principal amount of new senior secured notes due in 2029 (the “New Senior Secured Notes”), and (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2.1 million shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrants”).
Prior to the Exchange Transactions, the Company had previously completed discounted repurchases of an aggregate of $55.5 million face value of the Convertible Notes during the second and third quarters of 2024 for a combination of cash and equity.
The Company has now repurchased or exchanged approximately $147 million, or 91% of aggregate principal amount, of the $162 million of the 2025 Convertible Notes that were previously outstanding, materially reducing its debt level and leaving a small remaining stub of approximately $15 million of the 2025 Convertible Notes outstanding. In the aggregate, in connection with all of the transactions to restructure the Company’s 2025 Convertible Notes, including the short-term loan entered into on June 28, 2024, the Company issued approximately 2.9 million shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 3.0 million shares of Common Stock.
“Completing the restructuring of the 2025 Convertible Notes is a significant milestone for Inseego,” said Inseego Executive Chairman Philip Brace. “Inseego moves ahead in a much stronger position to invest in new products and market opportunities to grow our business and further increase stockholder value.”
The New Senior Secured Notes bear interest at 9.0% per annum, to be paid in cash, in arrears, on a semi-annual basis, and will have a maturity date of May 1, 2029. The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of Company’s assets. The New Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains covenants customary for such senior secured debt.
The Exchange Warrants have exercise prices ranging from $11.27 to $15.77 per share of Common Stock (that were based on a $2.00 premium to the NASDAQ Minimum Price as of the date that the applicable Exchange Term Sheet was executed). The Exchange Warrants expire four years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable on a cash basis.
“We’re thrilled to have completed our restructuring and material debt reduction. By reducing the Company’s leverage and right-sizing the capital structure, we believe we have re-positioned Inseego to a position of strength for future success,” said Steven Gatoff, Inseego Chief Financial Officer.
As of the date hereof, affiliates of two of the Exchanging Noteholders - Golden Harbor Ltd. and North Sound Partners - may be deemed to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. James B. Avery, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, currently serves as Senior Managing Director of Tavistock Group, an affiliate of Golden Harbor Ltd.
Raymond James served as financial advisor and Greenberg Traurig LLP served as counsel to the Company in connection with the restructuring transactions.
