Microchip prices $800 million of 0% convertible notes due 2030, with $100 million option exercised
Microchip agreed to sell $800 million of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030, and the initial purchasers exercised in full their option for an additional $100 million on February 10, 2026. The company reports net proceeds of approximately $883.3 million, with about $68.0 million used for capped call transactions and the remainder intended to repay commercial paper. Shareholders could face dilution if the notes convert at the initial conversion price of about $104.17 per share, though the capped calls are generally expected to reduce that potential dilution up to a cap price of $148.82 per share.
