• $10M Convertible Note Issued to Micron

  Through a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with Micron Technology, Silvaco issued a $10 million senior convertible promissory note bearing 8% simple interest.

• Automatic Conversion in 2028 at Discount

  On August 7, 2028, the note automatically converts at the lower of 90% of fair market value on the conversion date or 115% of the closing price on the day before issuance, a mechanism that could lead to dilution.

• Nasdaq Cap and Cash Settlement Risk

  Should conversion exceed the Nasdaq Cap and stockholder approval remain outstanding, a portion converts to shares up to the cap while the remainder is settled in cash with a prepayment penalty, introducing a cash outflow risk.

• Debt Restrictions Imposed

  The agreement caps Silvaco's consolidated indebtedness at $50 million and requires any permitted debt to be subordinated to the note, thereby limiting future borrowing flexibility.

A $10 million financing from Micron Technology, a key customer, gives Silvaco Group near-term capital without immediate dilution. The convertible note carries an 8% interest rate and automatically converts into common stock on August 7, 2028, at the lower of 90% of the fair market value at conversion or 115% of the closing price before issuance. This structure offers Micron downside protection and upside potential, but the conversion could dilute existing shareholders if the stock appreciates significantly. The deal also imposes a $50 million debt cap and grants Micron registration rights, deepening the strategic relationship while adding financial constraints.
