Transaction unlocks more than $95 million of cash flow over next
three years
LAS VEGAS -- (Business Wire)
Rimini
Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise
software products and services, and the leading third-party support
provider for Oracle and SAP software products, today announced it has
entered into a binding agreement with a syndicate of investors,
including a fourth round of equity participation by Rimini Street’s
largest shareholder, Adams Street Partners, to refinance its current
credit facility with the issuance of $140 million of Series A
convertible preferred stock and 2.9 million shares of common stock.
Closing is subject to a shareholder vote and certain other customary
closing conditions. Holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock
have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction, and the Company expects
the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2018.
The transaction is expected to unlock more than $95 million of cash flow
over the next three years as compared to the current credit facility.
The transaction extends the expected financing maturity from 2020 for
the current credit facility to 2023 for the new financing, when the
preferred equity may be redeemed by the holders in full.
The Series A convertible preferred stock is subject to an original
issuance discount of 5%, has a conversion price of $10.00 per common
share (representing a 72% premium over the $5.83 closing price per
common share on June 15, 2018), a cash dividend of 10% per annum paid
quarterly and a payment-in-kind (PIK) dividend of 3% per annum
capitalized quarterly. Rimini Street may redeem for cash up to $80
million of the convertible preferred equity under certain circumstances
within the initial three years, subject to ‘make whole’ dividends for
that period, and after three years may redeem all of the preferred
equity or force its conversion into common stock under certain
circumstances.
Rimini Street will also issue approximately 2.9 million shares of common
stock to the investors, and the redemption obligations of the company
will be secured by promissory notes. Additional material terms of the
financing, including when the promissory notes may replace the preferred
stock, can be found in the Company’s SEC filings.
“Rimini Street has delivered 49 consecutive quarters of revenue growth
by providing value-driven, innovative support solutions and exceptional
service that meet the support service needs of enterprise software
licensees worldwide,” said Seth
A. Ravin, Rimini Street CEO. “This $140 million Series A convertible
preferred equity transaction achieves one of our stated 2018 financial
priorities by replacing our current credit facility with an equity
instrument that provides the Company a significantly lower cost of
capital over the next three years, and more operational flexibility to
invest in new products, services and growth.”
