The Capital Markets team advised the initial purchasers on Mitek’s System, Inc.’s Rule 144A offering of 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026. The offering launched at $125 million, but was upsized to $135 million, plus the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional notes. The initial conversion price of the notes feature a premium of approximately 37.5% up from the reference price of $15.16 per share. In connection with the offering, Mitek and certain investment bank dealers entered into bond hedge and warrant transactions.
