Teligent Announces the Pricing of $34.4 Million of Series B Senior Convertible Notes

BUENA, N.J., Oct. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teligent, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLGT) (“Teligent” or the “Company”), a New Jersey-based specialty generic pharmaceutical company, announced the pricing of $34,405,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.0% Cash / 8.0% PIK Series B Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2023 (the “New 2023 Notes”).  It is expected that the offering will close on or about October 31, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. 

The gross cash proceeds of approximately $29,275,000 from the offering will be used to extinguish the Company’s outstanding Convertible 3.75% Senior Notes due December 2019, pay interest upon other indebtedness, and to fund general corporate and working capital requirements.

In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with certain holders of the Company’s 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due May 2023 (the “Existing 2023 Notes”), where such holders will exchange their Existing 2023 Notes for approximately $5,130,000 in aggregate principal amount of New 2023 Notes upon the terms of such agreements.

Interest on the New 2023 Notes will accrue at the rate of 7.0% for interest payments made in cash and at 8.0% for interest payments paid in the form of additional principal amount on such notes (“in-kind”).  In each case, interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2020. The New 2023 Notes mature in May 2023.

The New 2023 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at an initial conversion price of $0.72 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  In the event that Teligent undergoes a “fundamental change,” holders of New 2023 Notes may require Teligent to purchase for cash all or any portion of the New 2023 Notes at the fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes being repurchased plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon. The New 2023 Notes are not redeemable by Teligent prior to maturity.

The New 2023 Notes will be Teligent’s general senior unsecured obligations. The New 2023 Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of Teligent’s current subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under Teligent’s senior secured credit facilities. In connection with the issuance of the New 2023 Notes, Teligent intends to enter into amendments to its senior secured credit facilities that, among other matters, will provide Teligent with the consent of the lenders to the issuance of the New 2023 Notes.

The New 2023 Notes are only being sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United States. The New 2023 Notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New 2023 Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws, and the New 2023 Notes and the Conversion Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or other jurisdictions’ securities laws. Teligent does not intend to file a registration statement for the resale of the New 2023 Notes or any Conversion Shares.
