RightNow Announces Closing of $175 Million of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2030
BOZEMAN, Mont. (November 22, 2010) — RightNow Technologies, Inc. (“RightNow” or the “company”) (NASDAQ: RNOW) today announced the closing of the offering of its $175 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), which includes $25 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes issued in connection with the full exercise by the initial purchasers of their over-allotment option.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.50% per annum, which will be payable semi-annually, and mature on November 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes will have an initial conversion rate of approximately 31.36 shares of RightNow common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $31.89 per share.
The Notes are general unsecured obligations, ranking equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes.
RightNow estimates that the net proceeds from the closing will be approximately $169.9 million after payment of the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by RightNow. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include financing potential acquisitions and strategic transactions, stock repurchases, and working capital. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering may be used for stock repurchases under RightNow’s $25 million stock repurchase program.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Any offers of the securities were made only by means of a private offering circular. The Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
