Micron Announces Pricing of $1.2 Billion Offering

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ: MU ) today announced that it has priced its $1.2 billion public offering of common stock.  The size of the offering was increased from the previously announced $1 billion offering size. The offering was made pursuant to Micron’s registration statement and prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Micron announced that it has agreed to sell approximately 29.3 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $41.00 per share.  Micron has also granted the underwriter an option to purchase approximately up to an additional 4.4 million shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions.

The offering is expected to close on October 16, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.  

The total aggregate net proceeds to Micron from the offering of common stock will be approximately $1.19 billion, exclusive of any proceeds attributable to the underwriter’s possible exercise of its option to purchase additional securities.  Micron expects to use approximately $476 million of the net proceeds from the offering of common stock to redeem approximately $438 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 and pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  Micron anticipates that it will use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for the repurchase, redemption, retirement or other repayment of its outstanding debt securities, which may include any of its senior notes, senior secured notes or senior secured Term Loan B notes, and general corporate purposes.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering.
