Momo Inc. Prices Offering of US$650 Million Convertible Senior Notes
BEIJING, CHINA, June 27, 2018 — Momo Inc. (“Momo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MOMO), a leading mobile social networking platform in China, today announced the pricing of US$650 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) (the “Offering”). The Company has granted the initial purchasers in the Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional US$100 million principal amount of the Notes. The Notes will be convertible into Momo’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”), at the option of the holders, based on an initial conversion rate of 15.4776 of the Company’s ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$64.61 per ADS and represents an approximately 42.5% conversion premium over the closing trading price of the Company’s ADSs on June 26, 2018, which was US$45.34 per ADS). The conversion rate for the Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders of the Notes may convert their notes, in integral multiples of US$1,000 principal amount, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Momo will not have the right to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, except in the event of certain changes to the tax laws or their application or interpretation. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Notes in cash on July 1, 2023, or in the event of certain fundamental changes.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2019. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2025, unless previously repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering to (i) repay the US$300 million bank loan facility it entered into in May 2018 to partially finance its acquisition of Tantan Limited (“Tantan”), (ii) pay the outstanding consideration for the Tantan acquisition, as well as to invest in Tantan’s business development initiatives and (iii) invest in various business development initiatives for the Momo platform, including the purchase of intellectual property for Momo’s live video and mobile games services. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering will be used to support the Company’s ongoing working capital needs.
The Offering is expected to close on July 2, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Notes, the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of the Notes and the Class A ordinary shares represented thereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. They may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and/or to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of these securities, nor shall there be a sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
This press release contains information about the pending Offering of the Notes, and there can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed.
