ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSG
Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CSGS), a global provider of interactive transaction-driven solutions
and services, today announced that the conversion price threshold
requirements on its 3.0% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes issued in
March 2010, due March 1, 2017 (the "2010 Convertible Notes") (CUSIP
Number 126349 AC3), have recently been met. As a result, the 2010
Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders beginning
January 1, 2016 and through the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2016.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, prior to September 1, 2016,
holders of the 2010 Convertible Notes can convert their securities at
any time in the fiscal quarter following the period in which the price
of CSG's common stock trades over 130% of the conversion price for at
least 20 consecutive trading days in the last 30 trading days of a
fiscal quarter. As of December 16, 2015, the closing price of CSG's
common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price for the required
period, thus allowing for the 2010 Convertible Notes to be converted at
the holder's option during the quarter beginning January 1, 2016 and
ending March 31, 2016. The conversion price was $22.94 at December 16,
2015, or 43.5933 shares per $1,000.
Upon any conversion of the 2010 Convertible Notes, CSG will settle its
conversion obligation as follows: (i) it is required to pay cash for
100% of the par value of the 2010 Convertible Notes that are converted;
and (ii) to the extent the value of its conversion obligation exceeds
the par value, it can satisfy the remaining conversion obligation in its
common stock, cash, or any combination of its common stock and cash, at
the discretion of CSG.
The total par value of the 2010 Convertible notes is $150 million, and
after considering the remaining original issue discount of $9.5 million,
had a carrying value on our September 30, 2015 balance sheet of $140.5
million. Based on the December 18, 2015 closing stock price for CSG of
$33.87, the bonds would have had a total settlement value of
approximately $221 million. Given that the current market value of the
2010 Convertible Notes exceeds the value holders would receive upon
conversion if CSG's common stock remains at the current levels, CSG
believes that holders may not have a significant economic incentive to
convert at this time. However, there can be no assurances as to the
conversion decisions made by the holders during the conversion period.
CSG's principal sources of liquidity include its cash and short-term
investments ($199.8 million at September 30, 2015), cash generated from
its operations, and its $200 million revolving credit facility, which as
of December 21, 2015, had no borrowings outstanding and was fully
available to CSG to be drawn upon. Based on CSG's current financial
condition, management believes that liquidity from these sources will be
sufficient to meet its anticipated capital resource requirements for at
least the next 12 months.
