Dave Inc. completes $200 million convertible notes offering due 2031
Dave Inc. issued $200 million of 0% convertible senior notes due April 1, 2031, after initial purchasers fully exercised their option for an extra $25 million. The company received net proceeds of approximately $192.1 million, used part of it to buy capped call transactions and repurchase about 0.3 million shares, and plans to use the rest for general corporate purposes, including more buybacks, which matters to shareholders because the notes can add up to 949,340 shares of dilution on conversion, partly offset by the capped calls.
