The Capital Markets team advised the initial purchasers on Rapid7, Inc.’s Rule 144A offering of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029. The $300 million offering included the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase $40 million of additional notes. The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the last reported sale price of Rapid7’s common stock on the pricing date (the “reference price”). In connection with the offering, Rapid7 and certain investment bank dealers entered into capped call transactions, which mitigate equity dilution and/or offset payments due upon conversion of the notes, to synthetically increase the conversion price to 100% above the reference price. Additionally, Rapid7 used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase $184 million of its outstanding 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.
