CBIZ Retires Its 4.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2015
CLEVELAND, Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) (the "Company") announced today the remaining $48.4 million of its 4.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") (CUSIP: No. 124805AC6) that matured on October 1, 2015, were retired and will be settled in cash on November 4, 2015. The total cost of retiring the remaining Notes is $71.8 million, of which $48.4 million is principal and $23.4 million is the conversion premium above par value.
At September 30, 2015, there were 1.3 million shares included in the weighted average share count for the first nine months of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the common stock equivalents related to the Notes will not be included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, due to the maturation of the Notes. Excluding the impact of the common stock equivalents, the Company expects its fully diluted weighted average share count for the full year 2015 to be approximately 51.5 million shares, assuming no further share repurchases.
The Company will use its unsecured bank line of credit to fund the retirement. The outstanding balance on the Company's $400.0 million unsecured bank line of credit at September 30, 2015, was $151.0 million. The Company believes it has more than sufficient borrowing capacity to continue to fund strategic acquisitions and potential share repurchases. At September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $144.0 million of available funds under its credit facility.
