Repurchase of Convertible Bonds and Private Placement of High Yield Notes

 

Ocado Group plc ("Ocado") today announces that it has agreed to (i) repurchase £80 million in aggregate principal amount of its 0.875% senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2025 (the "2025 Convertible Bonds") at a purchase price of 97.375% and (ii) to issue via private placement £100 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued 11% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "Notes") at par.

 

The Notes will constitute a further issuance of, and will be consolidated and form a single class with, the £300,000,000 11% senior unsecured notes due 2030 issued by Ocado on 8 May 2025 (the "Original Issuance") and will have the same terms as the Original Issuance.

 

Upon completion of the transactions (which are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions), the repurchased 2025 Convertible Bonds will be surrendered by Ocado for cancellation, after which £55.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Bonds will remain outstanding.

 

The transactions are intended to extend the maturity profile of Ocado's debt, with the proceeds of the transaction retained to reduce Ocado's leverage over time, whether at maturity of the relevant debt or otherwise.
