Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 8, 2015, Piper Jaffray Companies (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement”) with Piper Jaffray & Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PJ&Co”) and certain entities advised by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), under which PJ&Co purchased fixed rate senior unsecured notes, Class C, from the Company (the “Class C Notes”) and immediately resold the Class C Notes pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to entities advised by PIMCO. The Class C Notes were purchased and resold by PJ&Co at a purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount.
The Class C Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $125 million. The variable rate senior unsecured notes, Class A, with a principal amount of $50 million issued to PIMCO in 2014 (the “Class A Notes”) remain outstanding and become due on May 31, 2017. The variable rate senior unsecured notes, Class B, with a principal amount of $75 million issued to PIMCO in 2012 (the “Class B Notes”) will be repaid in full and retired on November 30, 2015.
The Class C Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.06% per annum and mature 36 months after the date of issuance. Interest on the Class C Notes is payable on a biannual basis. The Class C Notes rank pari passu with the Company’s other senior unsecured debt. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Class C Notes for general corporate purposes.
The Class C Notes will be subject to the same covenants, events of default, and remedies as those that apply to the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, and such covenants, events of default, and remedies will otherwise remain substantially the same as described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 30, 2012 and June 5, 2014, which disclosure is incorporated by reference herein.
The foregoing description of the Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
