Capital Markets Team Advises Initial Purchasers On Nova’s Upsized Offering Of $200 Million Of 0% Convertible Senior Notes

The Capital Markets team advised the initial purchasers on the $200 million Rule 144A offering of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 by Nova Measuring Instruments Inc. Nova’s offering initially launched at $150 million, but was upsized to $175 million, plus the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional notes. The notes feature an initial conversion price of approximately $74.60 per share, which represents a conversion premium of 27.5% to the reference price for the notes. Nova used approximately $10 million of the net proceeds from the sale of notes to repurchase Nova’s ordinary shares from certain purchasers of the notes.
