Tilray Brands Inc (NASDAQ:TLRY) shares are trading lower in Thursday’s after-hours session after the company announced an offering.
What Happened: Tilray said it had commenced a registered offering of $150 million worth of convertible senior notes due in 2027. The company also expects to grant the underwriters a 30-day period to purchase up to an additional $22.5 million.
Issuing convertible notes to pay off debt means the company’s existing debt will get converted to equity at a future date, which means a dilution for the existing shareholders.
Tilray said it intends to use a portion of the proceeds to finance the repurchase of a portion of its outstanding 5% convertible senior notes due in 2023 and 5.25% convertible senior notes due in 2024.
Tilray is a global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company.
As of the third quarter ended February 2023, Tilray had $408.28 million in cash and equivalents.
