Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On May 31, 2016, Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into warrant partial unwind agreements with certain dealer counterparties to unwind certain warrant transactions entered into in connection with the Company’s issuance of 3.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017. In connection with the unwinding by the dealer counterparties of the warrant transactions, the Company expects the dealer counterparties to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock during an averaging period in open market transactions and/or privately negotiated transactions. These expected activities could, subject to market or other conditions, increase or prevent a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock.
In connection with the settlement of the unwinding of the warrant transactions, the Company expects to deliver to the dealer counterparties a number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be calculated over the averaging period. Such shares will be issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
