ROCK HILL, S.C., Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) (“the Company”) today announced that it has entered into separate, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with a limited number of holders of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to repurchase approximately $135 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a 26% discount to par value. The debt repurchase will be paid in cash from the Company’s balance sheet.
The repurchases are expected to close on December 13, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following such closings, approximately $325 million principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding, from an initial issued principal balance of $460 million. This remaining debt will continue to be held at 0% interest and will fully mature in November 2026.
Commenting on the transaction, President and CEO Dr. Jeffrey Graves stated, “Today’s announced repurchase of approximately $135 million of our 2026 notes at a significant discount demonstrates proactive liability management and disciplined execution in the current environment. Opportunistically executing this transaction reduces our debt by nearly 30% and reinforces the strength of our balance sheet.
