Accuray Inc. (NSDQ:ARAY) priced its proposed offering higher than previous estimates, coming in at $100 million in 3.75 percent convertible senior notes made available to institutional investors.
The sale was set to close yesterday, according to SEC filings.
The notes, due Aug. 1, 2016, were originally proposed at $75 million with an optional $11.25 million in notes for the first investor, and the announcement saw the company’s stock sink more than 10 percent to $7.58 when the news broke last week.
News of the increased offering, including raising the first-buyer incentive to $15 million in additional notes, brought the share price down another 6 percent to $7.15.
"Accuray intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes, including investing strategically in expanding its business and new product initiatives," according to the filing.
