Shares of Cutera, Inc., provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions, were trading lower in Wednesday's after-hours session, following news the company plans to offer $100 million of convertible senior notes due 2029 in a private placement.

At 5:41 p.m. EST, the company's shares were trading 13.41% lower at $43 per share. Volume at the time topped 125,000 shares. The stock finished the day's regular session with a 0.74% loss at $49.66 per share. Year to date, the stock is up by over 20%.

The company said, in connection with the pricing of the notes, it expects to enter into capped call transactions which are "expected generally to reduce potential dilution to Cutera's common stock upon any conversion of notes."
