Investing.com -- Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE ) shares fell 17% after the company announced its plans for a significant capital raise through both a $175 million convertible notes offering and a proposed $75 million common stock offering.
The energy storage solutions provider stated that the proceeds from these offerings would be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including the repurchase of its outstanding 5%/6% Convertible Senior PIK Toggle Note due 2026, prepayment of a portion of its credit agreement, and general corporate purposes. The announcement highlighted the potential benefits of the capital raise, such as a decrease in the PIK interest rate from 15% to 7% upon a prepayment of $50 million under the credit agreement and a waiver of financial covenants until 2027.
Investors reacted to the news by selling off shares, concerned about the potential dilution of existing stock from the common stock offering. The offering is subject to market conditions, and there is no certainty regarding the completion or the terms of the offering. Additionally, the company has provided underwriters with a 30-day option to purchase additional shares, which could further increase the number of shares on the market if exercised.
The company’s separate announcement of its intention to offer convertible senior notes due 2030 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers adds to the complexity of the situation. This offering, which could raise an additional $175 million, plus an option for initial purchasers to buy up to $26.25 million more in notes, is not contingent on the success of the common stock offering, and vice versa.
