Diodes closes $375 million convertible notes offering due 2031 and extends credit line
Diodes completed a private offering of $375 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due August 15, 2031, including the full exercise of a $50.0 million option, and amended its senior credit agreement to extend the revolver maturity to August 12, 2031 and permit the new debt. The notes carry a conversion price of about $145.79 per share, a 50.0% premium to the $97.19 closing price on August 13, 2026, so the offering adds debt that may dilute shareholders if the stock rises above that level.
