DALLAS - Uranium producer enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:EU) (TSXV:EU), currently valued at $482 million in market capitalization, announced Wednesday the pricing of $100 million in 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, upsized from the previously announced $75 million offering. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 2.53x and holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
The notes, offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, will bear interest at 5.50% annually, payable semi-annually beginning February 15, 2026. The notes will mature on August 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. This debt offering comes as InvestingPro analysis shows the company’s overall financial health score at 1.71, labeled as ’WEAK’, though its liquid assets exceed short-term obligations.
The initial conversion rate is 303.9976 common shares per $1,000 principal amount, representing a conversion price of approximately $3.29 per share - a 27.5% premium over the company’s last reported share price of $2.58 on August 19.
enCore expects net proceeds of approximately $95.3 million, or $109.8 million if initial purchasers exercise their 13-day option to purchase an additional $15 million in notes. The company plans to allocate $10 million toward capped call transactions and approximately $10.6 million to repay outstanding loan amounts, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
The capped call transactions, negotiated with certain financial institutions, are designed to reduce potential dilution to shareholders upon conversion of the notes. The cap price is initially set at $4.52 per share, representing a 75% premium over enCore’s last reported share price.
The offering is expected to close on August 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The notes and any common shares issuable upon conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to applicable exemptions.
