Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 21, 2016, PAREXEL International Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”) from HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”), for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million pursuant to an accelerated share purchase program. The Company is acquiring these shares as part of the stock repurchase plan that was announced on October 26, 2016. Under the stock repurchase plan, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Agreement, on November 23, 2016, the Company will pay $200 million to HSBC and will receive from HSBC approximately 2.8 million shares of Common Stock, representing 80 percent of the shares to be repurchased by the Company under the Agreement. The shares will be repurchased at a price of $57.51 per share, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on November 21, 2016. These shares will be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares. The final number of shares to be delivered to the Company by HSBC under the Agreement at program maturity, net of the initial delivery, will be adjusted based on an agreed upon discount to the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the term of the Agreement. If the number of shares to be delivered to the Company at maturity is less than the initial delivery of shares by HSBC, the Company would be required to remit shares or cash, at the Company’s option, to HSBC in an amount equivalent to such shortfall.
The Agreement is subject to terms customary for a transaction of this type, including, but not limited to, (i) the mechanism used to determine the number of shares that will be delivered, (ii) the required timing of delivery of the shares, (iii) the circumstances under which HSBC is permitted to make adjustments to the transaction terms, (iv) the circumstances under which the Company could be required to deliver cash or shares (at the Company’s option) to HSBC upon settlement of the transaction and (vi) various acknowledgements, representations and warranties made by the parties to one another.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.(d) Exhibits.
