Analysis · WNC · Manufacturing
Wabash National closed its convertible notes offering at $150 million after the initial purchasers fully exercised the $20 million greenshoe option, up from the originally announced $100 million. The notes carry a 4.00% coupon and convert at $16.75 per share, a 32.5% premium to the pre-pricing stock price. This capital raise provides critical liquidity following a $23–26 million Q2 net loss and a going-concern warning, but adds significant potential dilution — up to 11.9 million shares if fully converted, representing roughly 29% of the current float. The indenture includes senior unsecured guarantees from subsidiaries and customary covenants. Proceeds will repay credit agreement borrowings, reducing near-term default risk but extending the debt maturity profile.
