NCR Corporation Announces Launch of Secondary Offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Concurrent Stock Repurchase from the Selling Stockholders


NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) (the "Company") today announced the launch of a secondary offering of 342,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Convertible Preferred Stock"). The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are being offered solely by certain existing stockholders of the Company affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (the "selling stockholders") and the Company will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock").

In addition, in a privately negotiated transaction, the Company entered into an agreement with the selling stockholders under which the selling stockholders will convert a portion of their remaining shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into approximately 3 million shares of Common Stock and sell those shares of Common Stock to the Company at a purchase price per share equal to $48.47 (the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 10, 2017). The obligation for the Company to consummate the stock repurchase is conditioned upon the closing of the public offering.

In connection with these transactions, the Company agreed to waive the previously disclosed transfer restrictions applicable to the selling stockholders to permit the sales of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock described above. In addition, the selling stockholders agreed to extend the transfer restrictions applicable to their remaining Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until December 1, 2017.
