- A portion of the proceeds expected to be used to pay for capped call transactions to reduce potential dilution. Additional proceeds expected to be deployed for general corporate purposes, including to fund growth capital for additional power generation equipment.

MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ProPetro Holding Corp. (NYSE: PUMP) (together with its subsidiaries, “ProPetro” or the “Company”) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). ProPetro also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 calendar days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes.

ProPetro intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. ProPetro intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund growth capital for additional power generation equipment. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then ProPetro intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of ProPetro, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on November 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Noteholders will have the right to convert their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. ProPetro will settle conversions of notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”) or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at ProPetro’s election.

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at ProPetro’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 15, 2029 and on or before the 45th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of ProPetro’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require ProPetro to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, ProPetro expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and/or one or more other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected to cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of ProPetro’s common stock that will initially underlie the notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then ProPetro expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.

The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to ProPetro’s common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments ProPetro is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of ProPetro’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes. If, however, the market price per share of ProPetro’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to ProPetro’s common stock and/or purchase shares of ProPetro’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of ProPetro’s common stock or the notes at that time.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to ProPetro’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling ProPetro’s common stock or other securities of ProPetro in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and from time to time prior to the maturity of the notes (and (x) are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following any repurchase of the notes by ProPetro in connection with any fundamental change or following any redemption of the notes and (y) are likely to do so following any other repurchase of notes by ProPetro, if ProPetro elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of ProPetro’s common stock or the notes, which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert its notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of ProPetro’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities described herein, nor will there be any sale of these securities, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
