New Issue: Coupa prices $200 million five-year convertible notes to yield 0.375%, up 32.5%

By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Jan. 12 – Coupa Software Inc. priced $200 million in five-year convertible notes after the market close on Thursday with a coupon of 0.375% and an initial conversion premium of 32.5%.

The deal came at the rich end of price talk for a coupon of 0.375% to 0.875% and richer than talk for an initial conversion premium of 25% to 30%.

Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Barclays and RBC are bookrunners for the Rule 144A deal, which carries a greenshoe of $30 million.

In connection with the pricing, Coupa entered into capped call transactions with the initial purchasers and their counterparties at a strike price of $63.821, representing a premium from the company’s perspective of 90%, according to a company release.

The 0.375% notes due Jan. 15, 2023 are contingently convertible until Oct. 15, 2022. Notes may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of both, according to a company release.

The initial conversion rate is 22.4685 and the initial conversion price $44.51.

The notes are non-callable for three years, then callable subject to a 130% hurdle. There is takeover protection.

Proceeds are expected to be $193.8 million, or $223 million if the greenshoe is exercised. Proceeds will be used to cover the cost of capped call transactions, potential acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes.

Coupa is a San Mateo, Calif.-based cloud platform for business spend management.
