How much capital did Super Micro raise and what will it be used for?

The Company sold $2.3 billion in aggregate principal of convertible notes and received net proceeds of approximately $2.26 billion. It used about $182.2 million to fund capped call transactions and about $200.0 million to repurchase roughly 4.9 million common shares, with the remainder intended for general corporate purposes, including working capital for growth and business expansion.

Will holders of the notes receive regular interest payments?

No. The notes will not bear regular interest and their principal will not accrete. Special interest and additional interest may accrue only in the circumstances and at the rates described in the Indenture.

How could the notes dilute existing shareholders?

Upon conversion, the Company may pay in cash, shares, or a combination. At the initial conversion rate, the notes convert at approximately $55.20 per share, and up to 56,248,340 shares may be issued at the initial maximum conversion rate of 24.4558 shares per $1,000 principal. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce this potential dilution, subject to a cap price of $81.78 per share.

When can holders convert and when can the Company redeem the notes?

Holders may convert during specified conditions, including after a 130% share price test is met over 20 of 30 trading days in a quarter, upon certain trading price or corporate events, upon a redemption call, and at any time from December 17, 2029 until the second scheduled trading day before maturity. The Company may redeem the notes in whole or in part on or after June 15, 2028, if the notes are freely tradable and the share price exceeds 130% of the conversion price, with a $100.0 million partial redemption limitation.

How do the notes rank against Super Micro's other debt?

The notes are senior, unsecured obligations equal in right of payment with the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2028 and 3.50% convertible senior notes due 2029. They are effectively subordinated to future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral value and are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries, including trade payables.

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) completed on June 26, 2025 its previously announced private offering of $2.3 billion^a aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, including $300 million from the exercise of the initial purchasers' option.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.26 billion^b, of which about $182.2 million was used to fund capped call transactions and about $200.0 million was used to repurchase approximately 4.9 million shares of its common stock from certain purchasers of the notes. The Company intends to use the remainder for general corporate purposes, including working capital for growth and business expansion. The notes carry no regular interest and do not accrete, and are convertible into cash, shares, or a combination at the Company's election.

The initial conversion rate is 18.1154 shares per $1,000^c principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $55.20 per share.

The capped call transactions have an initial cap price of $81.78^d per share, a premium of 100% above the $40.89 last reported sale price on June 23, 2025. The filing states that the capped calls are expected to reduce potential dilution upon conversion and/or offset cash payments in excess of principal, subject to the cap. The maximum initial share issuance upon conversion is 56,248,340 shares, based on a maximum conversion rate of 24.4558 shares per $1,000 principal amount, which is subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
