Analysis · PDM · Real Estate & Construction
Piedmont closed its exchangeable notes offering at $230 million — $30 million above the originally announced $200 million — and used roughly $50 million of the proceeds to buy back 5.4 million shares from note purchasers. The notes carry a 2.875% coupon and an initial exchange price of $12.65 per share, a 35% premium to today's $9.36 stock price. The capital stack is being reshaped: proceeds will redeem the higher-cost 9.250% notes due 2028, cutting interest expense, while the concurrent buyback offsets some of the dilution from the exchange feature. The exchange rate can rise to 108.7 shares per $1,000 principal under a make-whole fundamental change, capping potential share issuance at roughly 25 million shares.
