Dropbox upsizes and prices $1.1 billion convertible note offering
Dropbox announced that it priced a $1.1 billion convertible senior note offering, up from the previously announced $1.0 billion, with an option for purchasers to buy an additional $150 million of notes. The notes bear a 1.25% coupon, mature in December 2031 and can be converted at roughly $40.73 per share, a 25% premium to the November 9 closing price. Proceeds will be allocated to a $103.1 million hedge program, a $175 million share repurchase, and repayment of at least $750 million of term‑loan debt.
Why it matters
The company says the net proceeds of about $1.082 billion will strengthen its balance sheet by reducing debt and funding buybacks, which may improve leverage ratios and earnings per share. The pricing and premium also set a conversion price that could affect future dilution if the notes are converted.
