Item 8.01. Other Events.

Convertible Notes Exchange and Subscription

On December 12, 2024, MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange and subscription agreements (the “Exchange and Subscription Agreements”) with a limited number of holders of its 0.250% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”), in each case pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, the Company will exchange approximately $288.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes for approximately $257.7 million in aggregate principal amount of new 0.000% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “New Convertible Notes”) and approximately 1.6 million newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock” and, such exchanges, collectively, the “Exchange”). The Company will also issue approximately $86.6 million in aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Notes in a private placement to certain investors (the “Subscription” and, together with the Exchange, the “Transactions”).

The Transactions are expected to close concurrently on or about December 19, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The issuance of the New Convertible Notes will occur pursuant to an indenture related to the New Convertible Notes, to be dated on or around December 19, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. In connection with the Transactions, the Company expects to recognize a loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the cancellation of the Existing Convertible Notes upon exchange. Following the closing of the Transactions, approximately $161.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes will remain outstanding with terms unchanged.

The New Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on December 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The New Convertible Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes will not accrete. The New Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 5.7463 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $174.03 per share of Common Stock), representing an approximately 27.5% conversion premium based on the last reported sale price of Common Stock of $136.49 per share on December 12, 2024. Before September 15, 2029, the New Convertible Notes will only be convertible in certain circumstances and during specified periods, and thereafter at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions solely in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Notes to be converted and by paying cash for or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of any remainder of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of such principal amount. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any.

The New Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 20, 2027 and prior to September 15, 2029, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the New Convertible Notes), holders of the New Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their New Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The Company expects that the gross proceeds from the Subscription will be approximately $86.6 million, excluding offering fees and transaction expenses, and intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange.

The offer and sale of the New Convertible Notes and Common Stock, including Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, are not being registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The New Convertible Notes and Common Stock, including Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

The foregoing description of the Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated hereby reference. A copy of the press release announcing the Transactions is attached


hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the New Convertible Notes or Common Stock, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.

Re:    Exchange and/or Subscription for 0.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029

Ladies and Gentlemen:

MACOM Technologies Solutions Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), is offering a new series of its 0.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes will be convertible into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of any New Notes issued, and cash, shares (“Underlying Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Stock”), or a combination of cash and Underlying Shares, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such converted New Notes, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (as defined below).

The undersigned (the “Investor”), for itself and, on behalf of the accounts (if any) listed on (x) Exhibit A hereto, in the case of the Exchange (as defined below), for whom the Investor has been duly authorized to enter into the Exchange (each, including the Investor if it is listed on Exhibit A, an “Exchanging Holder”) and (y) Exhibit B hereto, in the case of the Subscription (as defined below), for whom the Investor has been duly authorized to enter into the Subscription (each, including the Investor if it is listed on Exhibit B, a “Subscriber”), may:

(1) exchange 0.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (CUSIP 55405Y AB6 and ISIN: US55405YAB65) of the Company (the “Old Notes”) for an amount of New Notes and/or a number of shares of Stock determined as set forth herein (the “Exchange”); and/or

(2) subscribe for and purchase from the Company New Notes for cash (the “Subscription” and, the Exchange and/or the Subscription, as applicable, the “Notes Transactions”),

in each case, pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (the “Exchange/Subscription Agreement” or this “Agreement”).
The Exchanging Holders and the Subscribers (including the Investor, as applicable) are referred to collectively as the “Purchasers,” and each Purchaser (other than the Investor) is referred to herein as an “Account.”

The Investor hereby confirms that this Agreement relates to participation by the Purchasers, taken together, in the:

Exchange only  ☐            Subscription only  ☐        Exchange and Subscription  ☐
                                                    

The Investor and each Account understands that the Notes Transactions are being made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, and that the Notes Transactions are only being


made to investors who are institutional “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act that are also “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Notes Transactions are described in, and are being made pursuant to, the draft Indenture relating to the New Notes (the “Indenture”) to be entered into as of the Closing Date (as defined below) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “New Notes Trustee”), as supplemented by the Pricing Term Sheet, dated as of the date hereof (the “Pricing Term Sheet” and, together with the Indenture, the “Transaction Documents”).

For the avoidance of doubt, Exchanged New Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof, and the Company will not make any separate cash payment in respect of rounded amounts or interest, if any, accrued and unpaid to the Closing Date (as defined below) for the Exchanged Old Notes. Instead, such amounts will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited upon exchange of the Exchanged Old Notes for the Exchanged New Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exchange/Subscription Agreement, the Investor, on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Holder, hereby (a) waives any and all other rights with respect to such Exchanged Old Notes, and (b) releases and discharges the Company from any and all claims the Investor and each Exchanging Holder may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Exchanged Old Notes.

Tax Matters

The Company intends to treat the Exchange as a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code and to report in accordance with such treatment.

Backup Withholding Tax

Under U.S. federal income tax law, an Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) generally must provide such Investor’s (or that of the Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or an Investor’s (or that of the Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax (currently set at 24% of the payment). If an Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) is required to provide a TIN but does not have a TIN, the Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder may be required to comply with certain certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a) of the Code) in order to avoid backup withholding. U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against that holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In certain circumstances, information returns may be filed with the IRS. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides. Investors (or Account(s) of such Investors, if applicable) are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.

Portfolio Interest Exemption (for Investors (or Account(s) of such Investors, if applicable) That Are Not U.S. Persons for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes)

Under U.S. federal income tax law, an Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) that is otherwise not eligible to provide an IRS Form W-9 may claim an exemption from U.S. withholding tax on payments or deliveries attributable to accrued and unpaid interest. Any Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) that claims such an exemption under the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” is hereby deemed to represent and certify (along with providing the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY) as set forth in Paragraph C below. However, if the Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) is an intermediary, a foreign partnership or other flow-through entity, then the following adjustments will be made:

A.    The following representation will be provided as applied to the Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable):

•record ownership under Clause 1 of Paragraph C below, and
•the status in Clause 2 of Paragraph C below.

B.    The following representations will be provided as applied to the partners, members or beneficial owners claiming the portfolio interest exemption:

•beneficial ownership under Clause 1 of Paragraph C below,
•the status in Clause 2 of Paragraph C below,




•the status in Clause 3 of Paragraph C below, and
•the status in Clause 4 of Paragraph C below.

C.    The following representation will be provided as applied to the Investor (or Account(s) of such Investor, if applicable) as well as the partners, members or beneficial owners claiming the portfolio interest exemption:

1.It is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Old Notes in respect of which it is providing this certification.
2.It is not a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code).
3.It is not a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) or Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code).
4.It is not a “controlled foreign corporation” (as such term is described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).

MACOM Refinances Approximately 65% of Existing Convertible Notes with New Notes at 0% Coupon and 27.5% Conversion Premium

LOWELL, MA, December 13, 2024 - MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MTSI), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, today announced that it has entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange and subscription agreements with a limited number of holders of its 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”) in each case pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, the Company will exchange approximately $288.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes for approximately $257.7 million in aggregate principal amount of new 0.000% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “New Convertible Notes”) and approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock” and, such exchanges, collectively, the “Exchange”). The Company will issue approximately $86.6 million in aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Notes in a private placement to certain investors (the “Subscription” and, together with the Exchange, the “Transactions”).

MACOM expects the Transactions to have a neutral impact on its pro forma net leverage resulting in an increase of its cash balance by $61.7 million, after fees and transaction expenses, and an increase of its debt balance by $55.5 million.

The Transactions are expected to close concurrently on or about December 19, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The issuance of the New Convertible Notes will occur pursuant to an indenture related to the New Convertible Notes, to be dated on or around December 19, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The offer and sale of the New Convertible Notes and Common Stock, including Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, are not being registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The New Convertible Notes and Common Stock, including Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.



J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as MACOM’s financial advisors in connection with the Transactions.
