MasTec (MTZ) Prices $100M Convertible Notes Offering and Common Stock Offering for Acquisition-Related Selling Shareholders
MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced that it has successfully priced its convertible note offering and secondary offering of common stock for certain selling shareholders.
MasTec announced the pricing of its public offering of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes due 2014. The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes on the same terms and conditions to cover over-allotments, if any. The convertible notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 4% and will mature on June 15, 2014, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The notes are convertible, under certain circumstances, into shares of MasTec common stock at a conversion rate of 63.4417 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $15.76 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The convertible notes will be MasTec's senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with any existing and future unsecured senior debt, and senior to any existing and future subordinated debt. The convertible notes will be guaranteed by the MasTec subsidiaries that guarantee MasTec's 7.625% senior notes due in 2017.
The Company also announced that certain shareholders have agreed to sell 4,500,000 shares of MasTec common stock at a public offering price of $12.125 per share. All of the shares are being sold by Jon Wanzek, founder and CEO of Wanzek Construction, Inc., and his affiliates. Mr. Wanzek and his affiliates have granted the underwriters an option to purchase an additional 675,000 shares to cover over-allotments, if any. Mr. Wanzek and his affiliates received 7.5 million MasTec shares in conjunction with MasTec's 2008 acquisition of Wanzek Construction. After the transaction, Mr. Wanzek and his affiliate group will remain one of MasTec's largest shareholders.
MasTec intends to use the net proceeds of $96.75 million (before expenses) from the convertible note offering to redeem at par the existing $55 million in 8% convertible notes issued in conjunction with MasTec's 2008 acquisition of Wanzek Construction, for working capital, possible acquisitions of assets and businesses, and for general corporate purposes. MasTec will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders.
The offerings are expected to close on June 5, 2009, subject to customary closing conditions. The closing of the convertible note offering and the common stock offering are not contingent on each other.
Morgan Stanley is acting as the bookrunning manager and FBR Capital Markets is acting as co-manager of the offerings.
