Integer Holdings Corporation Enhances Capitalization Structure with the Closing of $1.0 Billion Convertible Senior Notes Offering

~ Strategic transaction to create revolver capacity ~
~ Immediately accretive to 2025 adjusted earnings on meaningfully lower interest expense ~

PLANO, Texas, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Integer Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: ITGR), a leading medical device contract development and manufacturing organization, announces the closing of its offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.875% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). In response to strong investor demand at attractive terms, the Company upsized the initial offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $875 million and the initial purchasers fully exercised their option to purchase an additional $125 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

“This transaction creates revolver capacity to enable us to continue executing our strategy while reducing our interest costs by meaningfully increasing the percentage of our debt at substantially lower interest rates,” said Joe Dziedzic, president and CEO. “We believe the strong demand from investors for this convertible bond offering demonstrates investors’ confidence in Integer’s strategy and financial strength.”

“This transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to 2025 adjusted earnings from lower interest expense of approximately $12 million, based on today’s outstanding debt and current interest rates,” said Diron Smith, executive vice president and CFO. “We accomplished our strategic objective of enhancing our capitalization structure by creating revolver capacity to continue our tuck-in acquisition strategy. We remain committed to our targeted leverage range of 2.5 to 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the structure of the Notes and the associated capped calls also protect investors by mitigating potential dilution in the future.”

The Company estimates that the aggregate net proceeds from this offering will be $976.1 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds from the transaction will be used to pay costs associated with capped call transactions related to the Notes, exchange a portion of the Company’s outstanding 2.125% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”), and to fully repay outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Company’s “term A” loan.

Upon conversion, the principal amount of the Notes will be paid in cash. As a result of the related capped call transactions, dilution upon a conversion of the Notes will be mitigated by the increased effective conversion price of the Notes to $189.44, a premium of 60% over the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock of $118.40 per share on March 13, 2025. The Company will have the option to further minimize dilution in the future by electing to deliver the value of any conversion obligation owed in excess of the principal amount of the Notes in cash, or a combination of cash and shares.
