AeroVironment, Inc. Announces Pricing of Upsized Offerings of Common Stock And 0% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2030
ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) (the 'Company') today announced the pricing of its upsized underwritten public offering of 3,528,226 shares of its common stock (the 'Common Stock') at a public offering price of $248.00 per share (such offering, the 'Common Stock Offering'), and its upsized underwritten public offering of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the 'Convertible Notes' and such offering, the 'Convertible Notes Offering'). The aggregate net proceeds to the Company from the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $1.47 billion. The Company expects to use approximately $965.3 million of the net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering to repay indebtedness under its term loan and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including to increase manufacturing capacity. The Company has granted the underwriters of the offerings a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 529,234 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount in the Common Stock Offering and a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $97,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in the Convertible Notes Offering. The Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders if certain conditions are met and during certain periods, based on an initial conversion rate of 3.1017 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $322.40 per share of Common Stock, representing a premium of approximately 30% above the public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Common Stock Offering. The Company will settle conversions of the Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company's election. Both the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Notes Offering are expected to close on July 3, 2025, in each case, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
