Worldline launches a repurchase invitation with respect to its outstanding OCEANEs due July 2025 and July 2026 via a reverse bookbuilding
Paris La Défense, 25 November 2024 - Worldline [Euronext: WLN], a global leader in payment services, today announces the launch of a repurchase invitation with respect to its existing bonds convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares (OCEANEs) maturing in July 2025 and July 2026 via a reverse bookbuilding.
On 21 November, Worldline successfully placed €500 million bond maturing in 2029 to be issued under its EMTN Programme (the "Bonds”).
The net proceeds of the issue of the Bonds will be used by Worldline for general corporate purposes, which may include, in whole or in part, refinancing of existing indebtedness, including its outstanding 2025 OCEANEs and 2026 OCEANEs (as defined below).
Worldline announces today the launch of a repurchase invitation with respect to its outstanding bonds convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares due 30 July 2025 (FR0013526803) (the "2025 OCEANEs”) and its outstanding bonds convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares due 30 July 2026 (FR0013439304) (the "2026 OCEANEs” and, together with the 2025 OCEANEs, the "Existing OCEANEs”) for a target amount of approximately €250 million, by conducting today a reverse bookbuilding process to collect irrevocable orders from bondholders willing to sell their Existing OCEANEs (the "Repurchase”).
As at the close of business on 22 November 2024, there was €599,999,912.48 in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 OCEANEs outstanding and €800,000,001.60 in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 OCEANEs outstanding.
Repurchase price
The repurchase price will be at least €116.50 per 2025 OCEANE and €96.25 per 2026 OCEANE and will be determined by Worldline in accordance with a modified Dutch auction procedure.
The results of the reverse bookbuilding process are expected to be announced today.
Transaction conditions
The settlement of the Repurchase is expected to take place on 29 November 2024 and is conditional upon the settlement of the issue of the Bonds which is expected to occur on 27 November 2024.
The 2025 OCEANEs and the 2026 OCEANEs accepted in the Repurchase will be cancelled in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.
Worldline may decide to purchase less than €250 million in aggregate principal amount of Existing OCEANEs. In addition, Worldline will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the allocation of the aggregate principal amount of the repurchased OCEANEs between each of the 2025 OCEANEs and the 2026 OCEANEs.
