Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 3, 2013, we initiated a redemption of $11,885,875 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 3.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “3.25% Notes”), which were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of January 25, 2006 between Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as successor trustee.
In accordance with the terms of the Indenture and a notice of redemption thereunder, the 3.25% Notes will be redeemed on February 2, 2013 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. Holders of the redeemed 3.25% Notes will be paid upon proper presentation and surrender of their 3.25% Notes. On February 2, 2013, unless we fail to make payment, interest on 3.25% Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue.
Holders of 3.25% Notes who wish to exercise the conversion feature must surrender such 3.25% Notes for conversion no later than the close of business on January 31, 2013, in addition to satisfying all other requirements of the 3.25% Notes and the Indenture.
A copy of the notice of redemption may be obtained from the trustee by direct inquiry via telephone at 1-800-344-5128 or fax at 1-612-667-6282.
