NEW YORK & GURUGRAM, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MakeMyTrip Ltd (NASDAQ: MMYT, the ' Company ' or ' MakeMyTrip '), today announced the closing of its previously announced offering of US$1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the ' Notes '), and the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional US$187.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (collectively, the ' Notes Offering '). The Notes were offered in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ' Securities Act '). The Company also announced today by a separate press release the closing of a registered public offering of 16,000,000 ordinary shares (the ' Primary Equity Offering ') at US$90 per ordinary share. The underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase 2,400,000 additional ordinary shares. MakeMyTrip received net proceeds from the Notes Offering of approximately US$1.41 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company plans to use all of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering and the Primary Equity Offering to repurchase a portion of the Class B ordinary shares of the Company from Group Limited. Terms of the Notes The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2030 unless redeemed, repurchased or converted prior to such date. The Notes will be convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, at the option of the holders, in integral multiples of US$1,000 principal amount, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate of the Notes is 8.2305 ordinary shares per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$121.50 per ordinary share and represents a conversion premium of approximately 35% above the public offering price of the ordinary shares, which was US$90 per ordinary share). The conversion rate of the Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. On or after July 10, 2028, MakeMyTrip may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at its option (such redemption, an ' Optional Redemption '), if (x) the Notes are 'freely tradable' (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) and all accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, has been paid in full, as of the date the Company sends the notice of redemption and (y) the last reported sale price of MakeMyTrip's ordinary shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately prior to the date MakeMyTrip provides notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately preceding the date MakeMyTrip sends such notice. MakeMyTrip may also redeem for cash all but not part of the Notes at any time if less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued remains outstanding at such time (' Cleanup Redemption '). In addition, MakeMyTrip may redeem all but not part of the Notes in the event of certain changes in the tax laws (' Tax Redemption '). The redemption price in the case of a Tax Redemption, an Optional Redemption or a Cleanup Redemption will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the related Redemption Date. Holders of the Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes, on July 3, 2028 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. In addition, subject to certain conditions and a limited exception, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Notes upon occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental change. In connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their Notes in connection with such corporate event or such Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption. Other Matters Nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, including the Notes or the ordinary shares, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
