Item
2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The terms and conditions of the exercise of an over-allotment option pursuant to a purchase agreement dated June 9, 2010 described in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 15, 2010, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Cadence) issued $300 million aggregate principal
amount of its 2.625% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the Notes) to certain initial purchasers
(collectively, the Initial Purchasers). See Cadences Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2010 for a description of the issuance of the Notes and other
transactions entered into on or about June 15, 2010.
On June 22, 2010, Cadence issued an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.625%
Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the Additional Notes) to the Initial Purchasers in
connection with an exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the Initial Purchasers pursuant
to a purchase agreement dated June 9, 2010. The Additional Notes have the same interest rate,
maturity and other terms as the Notes. The Additional Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act). Cadence received net proceeds of $48.6 million from the sale of the Additional Notes, after
deducting the Initial Purchasers discounts and commissions.
In connection with the sale of the Additional Notes, Cadence entered into convertible note hedge
transactions with respect to its common stock with affiliates of the Initial Purchasers (the
Additional Convertible Note Hedge Transactions). Cadence used an aggregate of $11.7 million of
the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes for the Additional Convertible Note Hedge
Transactions.
On June 18, 2010, Cadence also agreed to sell warrants to acquire its common stock, subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments (the Additional Warrants), in separate transactions entered
into with affiliates of certain Initial Purchasers and in reliance on the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Additional Warrants have an
exercise price of $10.78 per share, which is 75% higher than the closing price of Cadence common
stock on June 9, 2010.
Cadence expects to receive aggregate proceeds of $5.9 million from the Additional Warrant
transactions. If the market price of Cadence common stock at the time of exercise of the
applicable Additional Warrants exceeds the strike price of those Additional Warrants, Cadence will
owe the affiliates of certain Initial Purchasers net shares of Cadence common stock in an amount
based on the excess of the then current market price of the Cadence common stock over the strike
price of the applicable Additional Warrants. These transactions could have a dilutive effect to
the extent that the market price per share of Cadence common stock, as measured under the terms of
these transactions, exceeds the strike price of the Additional Warrants.
Neither the Additional Warrants nor the underlying Cadence common stock issuable upon exercise of
the Additional Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
