Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 31, 2022, Micron Technology, Inc. (“Micron”) settled its offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued and sold in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-249838), including the prospectus contained therein (the “Base Prospectus”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 26, 2022, a related final prospectus supplement dated October 26, 2022 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), and a free writing prospectus dated October 26, 2022.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 6, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of October 31, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and referred to together with the Base Indenture as the “Indenture”), between Micron and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee. The Indenture contains certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.750% per year and will mature on November 1, 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2023.
Micron may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (as defined below)) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current treasury rate plus 40 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, Micron may redeem any Notes on or after the Par Call Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The “Par Call Date” for the Notes means September 1, 2029 (two months prior to the maturity date).
If Micron experiences specified change of control triggering events, Micron must offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The Indenture contains limited affirmative and negative covenants of Micron, each of which is subject to a number of limitations and exceptions in the Indenture. The negative covenants restrict the ability of Micron and certain of its subsidiaries to incur liens on Principal Property (as defined in the Indenture); to engage in sale and lease-back transactions with respect to any Principal Property; and the ability of Micron to consolidate, merge or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets.
Events of default under the Indenture include a failure to make payments, non-performance of affirmative and negative covenants, and the occurrence of bankruptcy and insolvency-related events. Micron’s obligations may be accelerated upon an event of default, in which case the entire principal amount of the Notes would become immediately due and payable.
Micron intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures.
The foregoing description of certain terms of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, and the form of the Notes, which are filed with this report as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 respectively.
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, counsel to Micron, has issued an opinion to Micron dated October 31, 2022 regarding the legality of the Notes. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
