Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 9, 2016, Tutor Perini Corporation (the “Company”) announced the pricing of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “convertible notes”). The Company granted an option to the initial purchasers for up to an additional $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes.



The convertible notes are expected to be issued on June 15, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, and will bear cash interest at a rate of 2.875% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, beginning on December 15, 2016. Beginning on June 15, 2019, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the notes, at its option, if certain conditions are met. The Company may not redeem the convertible notes prior to June 15, 2019.



The convertible notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, based on an initial conversion rate of 33.0579 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.25 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 37.5% to the closing price of the Company’s common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange on June 9, 2016). 



The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering to repay $100 million (or $125 million if the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional notes is exercised in full) of the borrowings outstanding under its term loan, with the remainder of the net proceeds to be used to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility, to pay fees and expenses related to the offering and for general corporate purposes.



A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
