ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CHPT) (“ChargePoint”) a leading provider of networked solutions for charging electric vehicles, today announced the completion of a privately negotiated exchange (the “Exchange”) of $329 million of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), resulting in a near term reduction of its total outstanding debt by $172 million, or more than 50%. As part of the Exchange, ChargePoint’s New Loan (defined below) extends maturity from 2028 to 2030 and reduces annual interest expenses by approximately $10 million. ChargePoint estimates it obtained a discount of approximately $107 million due to the Exchange.
“This significant debt reduction is a pivotal step in strengthening our financial foundation,” said Mansi Khetani, Chief Financial Officer of ChargePoint. “We believe this deleveraging action, captured at a significant discount, shifts enterprise value to shareholders and strengthens our balance sheet, while providing us flexibility to continue to focus on growth and profitability. We remain confident in our business outlook.”
Transaction Details
Pursuant to the Exchange, ChargePoint exchanged $329 million of its 2028 Notes for consideration of approximately $222 million, comprised of:
- $157 million1 long-term senior secured loan (the “New Loan”)
- Up to $55 million2 cash paid within two quarters subsequent to closing
- Approximately $10 million3 of estimated value of warrants (exercisable for 1,671,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $25.00 per share)
The total consideration of approximately $222 million issued by ChargePoint in the Exchange retires $329 million of outstanding capitalized principal amount of debt, resulting in a discount of approximately $107 million or 33% vs the original capitalized principal amount of the 2028 Notes exchanged.
