Cyren (NASDAQ: CYRN) announced today that it has entered into a subscription agreement with an existing minority investor for the purchase of $10 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes in a private placement.
The notes will be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Cyren and carry a 5.75% interest rate, payable semi-annually in (i) 50% cash and (ii) 50% cash or ordinary shares at Cyren's election. The notes will have a three year term and mature in November 2021, unless converted in accordance with their terms prior to maturity. The notes have a conversion price of $3.90 per share and are convertible into approximately 256 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The conversion price may be subject to adjustment using a weighted average ratchet mechanism based on the size and price of future equity offerings and the total shares outstanding.
The initial conversion price represents a 34% premium to the $2.91 per share closing price of Cyren's ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market on November 14, 2018.
Cyren expects to use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. The notes are subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, and closing is expected in November 2018.
This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. The notes and the ordinary shares, if any, issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
