XELA stock is continuing to trend higher on February 2, 2022, after the company announced last week that it would buyback 100 million shares.
Exela Technologies Announces Share Buyback of up to 100 Million Shares of Common Stock at $1 per Share Through Exchange Offer of New Notes
On January 26, 2022, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ: XELA), announced that it has commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to holders of Exela’s outstanding shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), to exchange up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock for up to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its unsecured 6.00% senior notes due 2029 (the “New Notes”). The Offer is being made pursuant the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 contained in Section 3(a)(9) for the New Notes. Under that exemption, if Common Stock tendered is freely tradable, the New Notes received in the exchange will be freely tradable. If the Common Stock tendered in the exchange is restricted, the New Notes will be restricted to the same degree. The Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange dated January 26, 2022, as may be amended or supplemented in accordance with the terms thereof.
Par Chadha, Exela’s Executive Chairman, noted, “After deploying more than $400 million of capital in 2021 to substantially reduce debt and extend maturities, we are now deploying capital to unlock shareholder value for our large and growing shareholder base.”
Holders of Common Stock who validly tender on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2022 (unless extended, the “Expiration Date”), will receive for each 25 shares of Common Stock tendered, a New Note having a principal amount equal to $25.00. In the event that a number of shares of Common Stock is tendered in the Offer that would require the Company to issue in excess of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New Notes, then all tenders will be accepted on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes does not exceed $100,000,000.
Shareholders who hold their shares through a brokerage firm (e.g., Schwab, TD Ameritrade, Fidelity, Robinhood, etc.), should contact their brokerage firm and follow the brokerage firm’s procedures for instructing the broker to tender shares of Common Stock. Because it may take some time for the broker to process instructions, shareholders should contact their broker far enough in advance of the Expiration Date to enable the broker to timely follow the tender instructions.
Consummation of the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions; however, there is no minimum number of shares of Common Stock that must be tendered in the Offer. Exela reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive or modify any one or more of the conditions to the Offer.
The New Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 6.00%, and will mature on March 31, 2029.
Exela intends to apply to list the New Notes on either the NYSE American Exchange or Nasdaq under the symbol “XELAA.” If this application is approved, trading in the New Notes is expected to commence within a 30-day period after the approval of listing. Until such time, the New Notes will trade on the OTC.
