Capital Markets Team Represents Initial Purchasers and Dealers on Bentley Systems, Inc.’s Upsized $690 Million 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call

The Capital Markets and Technology teams advised the initial purchasers on Bentley Systems, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: BSY) Rule 144A offering of 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026. The offering launched at $500 million, but was upsized to $600 million, plus the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional notes. The initial conversion price of the notes feature a premium of approximately 45% up from the reference price of $44.23 per share. In connection with the offering, Bentley Systems and certain investment bank dealers entered into capped call transactions, which mitigates equity dilution and/or offsets payments due upon conversion of the notes and effectively raises the conversion price of the notes to approximately $72.98 per share, a 65% premium over the reference price.
