Interactive Intelligence Plans to Offer $150 Million in Convertible Senior NotesInteractive Intelligence (News - Alert) Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of collaboration, communications and customer engagement software and cloud services, intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $150.0 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In addition, Interactive Intelligence expects to grant the initial purchasers for the offering an option to purchase up to an additional $22.5 million principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. Interactive Intelligence intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. Interactive Intelligence intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of Interactive Intelligence and will mature on June 1, 2020. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 3, 2020, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Thereafter, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding maturity. The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Interactive Intelligence's common stock, or a combination of cash and such shares at the election of Interactive Intelligence. The interest rate, conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined upon pricing of the offering. In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Interactive Intelligence expects to enter into capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates (the "Option Counterparties"). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of Interactive Intelligence's common stock underlying the Notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option, Interactive Intelligence may use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to enter into additional capped call transactions. Interactive Intellignce expects that in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Option Counterparties and/or their affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Interactive Intelligence's common stock and/or purchase shares of Interactive Intelligence's common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Interactive Intelligence's common stock or the Notes at that time. In addition, the Option Counterparties and/or their affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Interactive Intelligence's common stock and/or purchasing or selling Interactive Intelligence's common stock or other securities of Interactive Intelligence in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period relating to a conversion of the Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Interactive Intelligence's common stock or the Notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the Notes. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are acting as book-running managers for the offering. The Notes and the shares of Interactive Intelligence's common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities. Any offers of these securities will only be made by means of a private offering memorandum.
