Onto Innovation issues $1.5 billion of 0.00% convertible notes due 2031
Onto Innovation issued $1.5 billion of 0.00% convertible senior notes maturing June 1, 2031, including a $200 million option that the initial purchasers exercised in full. The initial conversion price is about $381.80 per share, a premium of about 50% to the $254.53 share price on May 18, 2026, so conversion could dilute shareholders, and the company used part of the proceeds for a concurrent share repurchase and capped call transactions.
