SANTA CLARA, Calif. , May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inphi Corporation (NYSE:IPHI) today announced that on May 20, 2020, Inphi entered into separate and privately-negotiated agreements with certain holders of Inphi's outstanding 1.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes").

Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by these agreements (the "Exchange Transactions"), Inphi has agreed to exchange for cash, representing the principal amount exchanged and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and shares of Inphi's common stock for approximately $63.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and approximately $171.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes (together, the "Exchanged Notes"). Upon the closing of the Exchange Transactions, Inphi estimates that it will pay an aggregate of approximately $239.8 million in cash for principal, premium and interest and issue approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock for the Exchanged Notes. The foregoing estimates are based on a price of $109.37 per share of common stock, which was the reference price used in the Exchange Transactions. The actual amounts of cash and shares of common stock to be issued are subject to adjustment during an averaging period beginning on May 21, 2020, and could vary substantially depending on changes in the trading price of the common stock during the averaging period.

Inphi expects the closings of the Exchange Transactions to occur on June 1, 2020. Immediately following the closings of the Exchange Transactions, approximately $67.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes and approximately $116.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes will remain outstanding.
