Lucid Launches $875 Million Convertible Notes Due 2031 in Private Placement

Proceeds will fund a partial buyback of Lucid’s 2026 convertible notes.

Overview

  • Lucid is offering $875 million of convertible senior notes to qualified institutional buyers with an option for initial purchasers to buy up to an additional $100 million within 13 days of issuance.
  • The company says the issuance and sale are scheduled to settle on or about November 17.
  • Net proceeds are designated to repurchase a portion of the 1.25% convertible notes due 2026 through separately negotiated cash transactions with holders.
