Cantel Announces Pricing of $140 Million Private Offering of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025

LITTLE FALLS, N.J., May 13, 2020     /PRNewswire/ -- CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE: CMD) ("Cantel" or the "Company") today announced the pricing of its offering of $140 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "Notes") in a private offering only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $28.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes in the private placement. The issuance and sale of the Notes is scheduled to settle on or about May 15, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2020. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Notes will be convertible by the noteholders prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2025 only under certain circumstances and during certain periods, and irrespective of those circumstances, will be convertible by the noteholders on or after February 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding May 15, 2025.  The initial conversion rate will be 24.0912 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $41.51 per share of the Company's common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 30% over the last reported sale of $31.93 per share of the Company's common stock on May 12, 2020), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.  Upon conversion, the Notes may be settled, at the Company's election, in cash, shares of its common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share) or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock.

The Notes will also be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at the Company's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 17, 2023 in certain circumstances at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, in certain limited circumstances, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes for cash for a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $135.8 million (or approximately $163.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and before the cost of offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including by applying at least 50% of the amount by which the net proceeds exceeds $100 million to the repayment of debt under the Company's credit facilities as required by the second amendment to its credit agreement, entered into on May 11, 2020.

The Notes and the common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. As a result, neither the Notes nor the common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes may be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such state. Any offer of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
