Alkami Announces Pricing of $300 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering

PLANO, Texas, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) ("Alkami"), a leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for financial institutions in the U.S., today announced the pricing of its offering of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "notes") in a private offering (the "Offering") to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The issuance and sale of the notes are scheduled to settle on March 13, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Alkami also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Alkami and will accrue interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2025. The notes will mature on March 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before November 15, 2029, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after November 15, 2029, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Alkami will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at Alkami's election. The initial conversion rate is 30.4681 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $32.82 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 37.5% over the last reported sale price of $23.87 per share of Alkami's common stock on March 10, 2025. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Alkami's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 20, 2028 and on or before the 62nd scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Alkami's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If a "fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture for the notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require Alkami to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

Alkami estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $290.3 million (or approximately $334.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and Alkami's estimated offering expenses. Alkami expects to use approximately $29.5 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below, and the remainder, together with cash on hand, which may include proceeds from drawing on Alkami's existing credit facility, and restricted stock units issued to continuing employees of Fin Technologies, Inc. dba MANTL ("MANTL"), to fund the previously announced pending acquisition of MANTL. Alkami expects to use any remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then Alkami intends to use up to approximately $4.4 million of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below. The completion of the Offering is not contingent on the closing of the MANTL acquisition. There can be no assurance that the MANTL acquisition will be completed in a timely manner or at all. If the MANTL acquisition does not close, Alkami intends to the use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the capped call transactions and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, Alkami entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of Alkami's common stock that initially underlie the notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then Alkami expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $47.74 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of Alkami's common stock of $23.87 per share on March 10, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Alkami's common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments Alkami is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of Alkami's common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Alkami's common stock and/or purchase shares of Alkami's common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Alkami's common stock or the market value of the notes at that time.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Alkami's common stock and/or purchasing or selling Alkami's common stock or other securities of Alkami in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so (x) during any observation period related to a conversion of notes or following any repurchase of the notes by Alkami in connection with any redemption or fundamental change, (y) following any repurchase of the notes by Alkami other than in connection with any redemption or fundamental change if Alkami elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase and (z) if Alkami otherwise unwinds all or a portion of the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of Alkami's common stock or the notes, which could affect noteholders' ability to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.

This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor shall there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
