The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Mirum. The notes will not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. The notes will mature on
Mirum may not redeem the notes at its election at any time before
If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require Mirum to repurchase their notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Mirum estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately
Mirum expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cash portion of the consideration in the note exchange transactions as described below. Mirum expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of complementary products, technologies, intellectual property or businesses as part of its growth strategy.
Mirum expects to use approximately
In connection with any note exchange transaction, Mirum expects that holders of the 2029 notes who agree to have their 2029 notes exchanged and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such 2029 notes (the “hedged holders”) will, concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes, unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying Mirum’s common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to its common stock. The amount of Mirum’s common stock to be purchased by the hedged holders or the notional number of shares of Mirum’s common stock underlying such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historical average daily trading volume of Mirum’s common stock. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Mirum’s common stock. Mirum cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or its common stock.
The offer and sale of the notes, any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and any shares of common stock issuable in connection with any note exchange transaction have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not 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 press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
