Dominion Energy Announces Equity Units Offering
Jun 10, 2019, 16:10 ET
The Common Stock purchase contracts are expected to settle on June 1, 2022 (subject to early settlement in certain circumstances).
Dominion Energy expects to pay, quarterly in arrears, contract adjustment payments on the stated amount of each Equity Unit and cumulative dividends, when, as and if declared by Dominion Energy's board of directors, on the liquidation preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case at a rate to be determined in connection with the offering. Dominion Energy may pay such contract adjustment payments and dividends in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at its election. Dominion Energy may also, in its discretion, defer contract adjustment payments.
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only after being separated from the Corporate Units and, prior to June 1, 2022, only upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change events. Upon any such conversion, Dominion Energy will, at its election, pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.
Dominion Energy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and to repay short-term debt.
