Senseonics Announces Pricing of $50 Million Convertible Notes Offering
GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS) a medical technology
company focused on the development and commercialization of Eversense®,
a long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for
people with diabetes, today announced the pricing of an underwritten
offering of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25%
convertible senior subordinated notes due 2023 (the Notes). In
connection with the offering, Senseonics has also granted the
underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $7.5 million
aggregate principal amount of Notes, solely to cover over-allotments.
The sale of the Notes is expected to close on January 30, 2018, subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
BTIG is acting as the sole manager for the offering.
The Notes will be general, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of
Senseonics with an interest rate of 5.25% per year, payable semiannually
in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on
August 1, 2018. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2023, unless
earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The
Notes will be convertible into shares of Senseonics’ common stock (the
common stock). The conversion rate will initially be 294.1176 shares of
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an
initial conversion price of approximately $3.40 per share of common
stock), subject to customary adjustments. Prior to the close of business
on the business day immediately preceding February 1, 2023, the Notes
will be convertible at the option of holders. Holders of the Notes may
require the Company to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a
fundamental change prior to maturity for cash at a repurchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
repurchase date. Holders who convert on or after the date that is six
months after the last date of original issuance of the notes but prior
to February 1, 2021, may also be entitled to receive, under certain
circumstances, an interest make-whole payment payable in shares of our
common stock.
The estimated net proceeds from this offering will be approximately
$48.0 million (or $55.3 million if the underwriter exercises its
over-allotment option in full), after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Senseonics.
Senseonics intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the
offering of the Notes to begin commercialization of Eversense in the
United States, if approved, to fund continued research and development
of future configurations of Eversense, and for working capital and
general corporate purposes.
The Notes will be issued and sold pursuant to an effective shelf
registration statement (including a base prospectus) on Form S-3, which
was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April
3, 2017 and became effective on April 17, 2017, and a preliminary
prospectus supplement, filed with the SEC on January 25, 2018. The final
prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed with the
SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
A copy of the final prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus relating to the offering may also be obtained, when
available, from BTIG, LLC, 825 Third Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, NY
10022, or by telephone at (212) 588-6500 or by e-mail at [email protected].

solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, and
will not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or
jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful. The offering of the Notes will be made only by means of the
