Bondholders approve amended terms of the 2024 convertible bonds
Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Bondholders approve amended terms of the 2024 convertible
bonds
- The proposed amendments to the terms of the 2024 convertible
bond have been approved by the bondholders and will become binding
and effective upon approval by the higher cantonal composition
authority.
Allschwil, Switzerland – May 6, 2024
Idorsia Ltd. (SIX: IDIA) today announced the positive outcome of a
bondholder meeting held at 17:30 CEST on May 6, 2024. The
bondholder meeting for holders of Idorsia’s outstanding 2024
convertible bonds (ISIN: CH0426820350) (the Bonds) was held to vote
on amendments to the terms of the Bonds. 83.5% of the total
outstanding bondholders voted in favor of the amendments proposed
by Idorsia – significantly exceeding the required two thirds
majority threshold.
The approved Bond terms include an amended conversion price of
CHF 6.00, extended maturity date of January 17, 2025, and the
option to call the Bonds at par, in full or in part, at any time
upon giving ten trading days' notice.
The amendments to the Bond terms become binding and effective
upon approval by the higher cantonal composition authority
(obere kantonale Nachlassbehörde). Idorsia will now file
this application.
A consent fee of 8,000,000 Idorsia shares will be delivered
through SIX SIS once the amendment of the Bond terms is
effective.
André C. Muller, Chief Financial Officer,
commented:
“On behalf of Idorsia’s management and Board, I thank the
bondholders for approving the amendments we proposed. Securing the
restructuring of the 2024 convertible bond gives bondholders the
potential to participate in the long-term path of Idorsia by
becoming shareholders at a much lower conversion price than
originally agreed during the bond placing and gives the company the
flexibility to secure other funding avenues, avoiding potential
liquidity constraints in connection with the redemption of the
Bonds.”
