Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On January 27, 2005, Open Solutions Inc. (the Registrant) entered into a purchase agreement (the Agreement) to sell senior subordinated convertible notes due 2035 (the Notes) with aggregate gross proceeds to the Registrant of approximately $125.4 million to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 144A under the Act. The issue price of the Notes will be $533.56 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of Notes. The Registrant has also granted to the initial purchasers a 30-day option to purchase additional Notes with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $18.7 million. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on February 2, 2005.
The Notes will be convertible into shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Registrant (the Common Stock) at an initial conversion rate of 18.3875 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price, based on the issue price, of approximately $29.02 (subject to adjustment), only under the following circumstances: (1) if the reported last sale price of the Registrants Common Stock reaches a specified threshold, (2) if the Notes are called for redemption, (3) if specified corporate transactions or distributions to holders of the Registrants Common Stock occur, (4) if a change of control occurs or (5) during the 10 trading days prior to, but not on, the maturity date of the Notes. In lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, the Registrant may elect to deliver cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The Notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 2.75% per year on the issue price until February 2, 2012. After that date, original issue discount will accrue on the Notes at a rate of 2.75% per year on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis. On the maturity date, a holder will receive $1,000 in cash per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of Notes. The Registrant has the right to redeem for cash all or a portion of the Notes at any time on or after February 2, 2012 at a price equal to the sum of the issue price and the accrued original issue discount plus accrued and unpaid cash interest and liquidated damages, if any. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Registrant to repurchase some or all of the Notes in cash on February 2, 2012 for $533.56, on February 2, 2015 for $579.12, on February 2, 2020 for $663.86, on February 2, 2025 for $761.00 and on February 2, 2030 for $872.35, in each case, per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of Notes, and upon certain events constituting a change of control, subject to specified exceptions, at a price equal to the sum of the issue price and accrued original issue discount plus accrued and unpaid cash interest and liquidated damages, if any.
The Notes and the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
