Read MoreHide Full Article
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK - Free Report) yesterday announced the pricing of 6.75 million equity units offering. The offering, made under the company’s SEC-filed existing shelf registration statement, is expected to close on Nov 13, 2019.
As noted, it gave underwriters an option to purchase up to 750,000 equity units in excess of 6.75 million units offered. The option will help the company cover over-allotments.
Talking about the units, the company communicated that equity units will comprise 0.675 million of 0% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (liquidation preference being $675 million). Also, the equity units will include purchase contracts for Stanley Black’s common shares. Each convertible preferred stock can be converted to 5.2263 common shares of the company on and prior to November 2022. The initial conversion price is $191.34 per share.
Stanley Black noted that it expects to receive $675 million in gross proceeds from the equity units offering. After payment of offering expenses as well as commissions and discounts to underwriters, the company can use the proceeds as well as available cash for the redemption of its 5.75% Junior Subordinated Debentures (to mature in 2052). Additionally, it may use the funds for purchasing common stock options from counterparties.
Notably, Stanley Black had long-term debts of $3,908.8 million at the end of third-quarter 2019. The company’s weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) in the third quarter were 150.6 million.
