GlobalFoundries Inc. (“GlobalFoundries” or “GF”) (Nasdaq: GFS),
today announced the pricing of a secondary public offering of $950
million of its ordinary shares at a price to the public of $50.75
per share (including a $200 million share repurchase, as described
below). All of the shares in the offering are being offered by
Mubadala Technology Investment Company (the “Selling Shareholder”).
The Selling Shareholder is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala
Investment Company PJSC (which, together with its affiliates, is
GlobalFoundries’ largest shareholder). The Selling Shareholder has
also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an
additional $112.5 million of GlobalFoundries’ ordinary shares
(equal to 15% of the initial ordinary shares being sold to the
public) at the public offering price minus underwriting discounts
and commissions. The offering is expected to close on May 28, 2024,
subject to customary closing conditions.
GlobalFoundries is not selling any ordinary
shares in the offering and will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of the shares being offered by the Selling Shareholder.
GlobalFoundries has agreed to concurrently
repurchase from the underwriters $200 million of the Selling
Shareholder’s ordinary shares that are subject to the offering at a
price per share equal to the public offering price for the offering
(the “Share Repurchase”). GlobalFoundries intends to fund the Share
Repurchase with cash on its balance sheet. GlobalFoundries expects
the closing of the Share Repurchase to occur substantially
simultaneously with the closing of the offering. The closing of the
Share Repurchase is conditioned on the closing of the offering. The
closing of the offering is not conditioned on the closing of the
Share Repurchase. The underwriters are not receiving any discount
or commission with respect to the ordinary shares being repurchased
by GlobalFoundries pursuant to the Share Repurchase.
