SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupa Software
(NASDAQ: COUP) today announced that it has closed its offering of
convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "notes") for gross proceeds
of $805.0 million. The proceeds
include the full exercise of the $105
million option to purchase additional notes granted by Coupa
to the initial purchasers. The notes were sold to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.

The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Coupa, and
interest is payable semi-annually in cash at a rate of 0.125% per
annum on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on
December 15, 2019. The notes will
mature on June 15, 2025 unless
redeemed, repurchased or converted prior to such date. Prior to
March 15, 2025, the notes are
convertible at the option of holders during certain periods, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions. Thereafter, the notes are
convertible at any time until the close of business on the second
scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon
conversion, the notes may be settled in shares of Coupa common
stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Coupa common
stock, at Coupa's election.
The notes have an initial conversion rate of 6.2658 shares of
common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of notes (subject to customary adjustments in certain
circumstances). This represents an initial effective
conversion price of approximately $159.60 per share. The initial conversion
price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 35% to the
$118.22 per share closing price of
Coupa common stock on June 6,
2019.
Coupa estimates that the net proceeds from the offering, given
the initial purchasers' exercise in full of their option to
purchase additional notes, are approximately $786.2 million after deducting the initial
purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by
Coupa. Coupa used approximately $118.7
million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the capped
call transactions described below. Coupa intends to use the
remainder of the net proceeds from this offering for general
corporate purposes, potential acquisitions and strategic
transactions. Coupa has no agreements or understandings with
respect to any material acquisitions or strategic transactions at
this time.
Coupa may redeem all or any portion of the notes, at its option,
on or after June 20, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, if the last reported sale price of
Coupa's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price
then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not
consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period
(including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and
including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which
Coupa provides written notice of redemption.
Holders of notes may require Coupa to repurchase their notes
upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental
change under the indenture governing the notes at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In
connection with certain corporate events or if Coupa issues a
notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances,
increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their
notes in connection with such corporate event or during the
relevant redemption period.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, Coupa has entered
into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of
the initial purchasers of the notes and/or their respective
affiliates (the "capped call counterparties"). The capped call
transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments, the number of shares of Coupa common stock that
initially underlie the notes, including the notes purchased
pursuant to the option to purchase additional notes. The cap price
of the capped call transactions is initially $295.55 per share of Coupa's common stock,
representing a premium of 150% above the last reported sale price
of $118.22 per share of Coupa's
common stock on June 6, 2019, and is
subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call
transactions. The capped call transactions are expected generally
to reduce or offset potential dilution to holders of Coupa's common
stock upon conversion of the notes and/or offset the potential cash
payments that Coupa could be required to make in excess of the
principal amount of any converted notes upon conversion thereof,
with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap
price.
In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the
capped call transactions, the capped call counterparties have
advised Coupa that they and/or their respective affiliates expect
to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Coupa
common stock and/or purchase Coupa common stock concurrently with,
or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. This activity could
increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price
of Coupa common stock or the notes concurrently with, or shortly
after, the pricing of the notes.
In addition, the capped call counterparties and/or their
respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering
into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Coupa common
stock and/or purchasing or selling Coupa common stock in secondary
market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to
the maturity of the notes. This activity could decrease (or avoid
an increase in) the market price of Coupa common stock or the
notes, which could affect noteholders' ability to convert the notes
and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation
period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount
and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon
conversion of such notes.
This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation
of an offer to buy any of these securities (including the shares of
Coupa common stock, if any, into which the notes are convertible)
and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is
unlawful.
The notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws
and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from such registration requirements.
