Livongo Announces Proposed Offering of $400.0 Million of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Livongo Health, Inc. (“Livongo”) (Nasdaq: LVGO), the leading Applied Health Signals company empowering people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives, today announced that it intends to offer $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Livongo also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.

The notes will be general unsecured obligations of Livongo and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears. The notes will be convertible under certain circumstances into cash, shares of Livongo’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Livongo’s common stock, at Livongo’s election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, repurchase or redemption rights and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering.

Livongo intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. Livongo intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital, business development, sales and marketing activities and capital expenditures.

Further, in connection with the pricing of the notes, Livongo expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Livongo’s common stock that will initially underlie the notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to offset the potential dilution to Livongo’s common stock upon any conversion of notes, with such reduction subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Livongo 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 may enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Livongo’s common stock and/or purchase shares of Livongo’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Livongo’s common stock or the trading price of 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 Livongo’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling Livongo’s common stock or other securities of Livongo in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Livongo’s common stock or the notes, and to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, this could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its notes.

The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.  Neither the notes, nor any shares of Livongo’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
