Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY” or the “Company”), a leading provider of integrated payment processing solutions, today announced the successful closing of its offering of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”), which includes the exercise in full of the $27.5 million principal amount option granted to the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes.
John Morris, Co-founder and CEO of REPAY, said, “We are pleased to successfully close this important financing for the Company, and we greatly appreciate the tremendous support from both existing and new investors. The transaction fortifies our balance sheet by addressing $220.0 million principal amount of our 2026 maturities, while providing us with financial flexibility to continue focusing on profitable growth and cash generation.”
“We designed this transaction to minimize the future dilution for our shareholders,” said Tim Murphy, CFO of REPAY. “Our repurchase of approximately 3.9 million shares concurrently with the offering and our commitment to repay the principal amount of the new Convertible Notes in cash are expected to further reduce potential share dilution even beyond the $20.42 capped call strike price.”
