Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (the “Company’) previously issued $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) to investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake Partners (the “Holders”).
The 2024 Notes are convertible into Company common stock based on a conversion rate of 4.9843 as of the date of this report, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes.
On February 14, 2024, the Company has agreed with the Holders to purchase the $1,000,000,000 in principal amount of the 2024 Notes for aggregate consideration of $1.59 billion in cash, inclusive of conversion premium. Payment for the purchase is expected to occur in full on or before March 28, 2024.
As a result of the purchase of the 2024 Notes, no principal amount of the 2024 Notes will remain outstanding. The Company’s reported full year 2023 diluted common shares outstanding had included 1.5 million shares of Company common stock related to the 2024 Notes, which will no longer be dilutive.
The Company expects to pay the cash consideration for the 2024 Notes with cash on the balance sheet and short-term borrowings including under its existing revolving credit facility.
A press release related to the purchase is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
