Amkor Technology announced a proposed offering of $1 billion in convertible senior notes due 2031, with an additional $150 million option for initial purchasers. The notes are senior unsecured obligations, guaranteed by subsidiaries that guarantee its 5.875% senior notes due 2033. Interest rate and conversion terms will be set at pricing. The company plans to use part of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions with option counterparties to reduce potential dilution upon conversion. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures. The offering is a private placement under Rule 144A, not registered under the Securities Act. This financing strengthens Amkor's balance sheet and provides flexibility for growth investments, while the capped call structure mitigates shareholder dilution.
