Halozyme completes $1.5 billion convertible notes offering due 2033
The company plans to use part of the proceeds to fund capped calls and buy back existing 2027 and 2028 convertible notes.
Halozyme Therapeutics said on September 22, 2026 that it had closed its previously announced sale of $1,500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2033, including $200.0 million purchased through the initial purchasers' exercise of their option to buy additional notes.1 The notes were issued under an indenture dated the same day with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. serving as trustee.1
The company said its net proceeds from the offering came to about $1,471.1 million, after subtracting the initial purchasers' fees and Halozyme's estimated costs of the offering.1 Of that amount, roughly $187.5 million was used to pay for the capped call transactions.1 Halozyme also said it plans to use part of the proceeds to buy back about $151.7 million principal amount of its 0.25% convertible notes due 2027 and $220.0 million principal amount of its 1.00% convertible notes due 2028, at a combined repurchase cost of approximately $217.0 million for the 2027 notes and $435.5 million for the 2028 notes, including accrued interest, through privately negotiated transactions.1
Remaining funds are earmarked for general corporate purposes such as working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, and possible future repurchases or redemptions of the notes.1
Interest on the new notes accrues at 1.50% annually, payable twice a year on April 1 and October 1, starting April 1, 2027.1 The initial conversion rate is 7.1509 shares per $1,000 in principal, equal to a conversion price of about $139.84 per share.1
Separately, Halozyme entered into capped call transactions tied to the offering, with a cap price of about $208.39 per share, a roughly 90.0% premium over the September 17, 2026 closing price of its stock on Nasdaq.1 The company said as many as 13,676,100 shares could ultimately be issued upon conversion of the notes, based on the maximum conversion rate of 9.1174 shares per $1,000 in principal.1
