Convertible notes offering
Viking Therapeutics launched a public offering of USD 200 million convertible senior notes due 2032.
Underwriters hold a 30-day option to buy up to an additional USD 30 million of the notes for over-allotments.
The notes are expected to mature on Oct. 15, 2032, will be senior unsecured, and will pay interest semi-annually. Conversion may be settled in cash, shares, or both.
The company said redemption will be allowed from Oct. 22, 2029 if the shares trade above 130% of the conversion price for a specified period.
