SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. Announces Proposed Private Offering of $300 million of Convertible Senior Notes

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEDG) (“SolarEdge”) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $300 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Offering, SolarEdge expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on the same terms and conditions.

The final terms of the Notes, including the initial conversion price, interest rate and certain other terms, will be determined at the time of pricing of the Offering. When issued, the Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of SolarEdge. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2029, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of the Notes only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. On or after April 1, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately prior to the maturity date, the Notes will be convertible, at the option of the holders of Notes, at any time regardless of such conditions. The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock of SolarEdge or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration to be determined at SolarEdge’s election.

SolarEdge intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions (as defined below), redeem a portion of its outstanding 0.000% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, SolarEdge expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties and the remainder to redeem an additional portion of its outstanding 2025 Notes and for general corporate purposes.

Holders of the 2025 Notes that are repurchased in the concurrent repurchases described above may purchase shares of SolarEdge’s common stock in the open market to unwind any hedge positions they may have with respect to the 2025 Notes. These activities may increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the trading price of SolarEdge’s common stock and, if conducted concurrently with the Offering, may result in a higher initial conversion price for the Notes.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, SolarEdge expects to enter into capped call transactions (the “capped call transactions”) with one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to SolarEdge’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments SolarEdge is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, SolarEdge expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of SolarEdge’s common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to SolarEdge’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. These activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of SolarEdge’s common stock or the Notes at that time.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to SolarEdge’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling SolarEdge’s common stock or other securities of SolarEdge in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during the observation period for conversions of the Notes following April 1, 2029 and, to the extent that SolarEdge unwinds a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions, following an early conversion of the Notes or repurchase or redemption of the Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of SolarEdge’s common stock or the Notes, which could affect the ability of holders to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that a holder will receive upon conversion of its Notes.

The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the Notes and any shares of common stock of SolarEdge issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, the Notes and such shares, if any, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or sale of, the Notes (or any shares of common stock of SolarEdge issuable upon conversion of the Notes) in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
