MACOM Announces Proposed Offering of $400 Million of Convertible Senior Notes

LOWELL, MA, March 22, 2021 — MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM”) (Nasdaq: MTSI), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $400 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). MACOM also expects to grant the initial purchaser of the Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period from, and including, the date of original issuance of the Notes up to an additional $60 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

MACOM intends to use the net proceeds for partial repayment of outstanding term loans.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of MACOM and will mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. MACOM will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at MACOM’s election. The final terms of the Notes, including the interest rate, the initial conversion rate and certain other terms of the Notes, will be determined at the pricing of the offering.

The offer and sale of the Notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion, if any, are not being registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion, if any, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.
