QIAGEN N.V. Launches Non-US Offering of Net Share Settled Convertible Bonds

VENLO, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION INTO OR IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO ANY U.S. PERSON. PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.

The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) ("QIAGEN" or the "Company") have resolved today to issue senior, unsecured net share settled convertible bonds, which may be converted in part into ordinary shares of the Company ("Shares"), due 2032 (the "Bonds").

The Company intends to issue the Bonds in minimum denominations of USD 200,000 each, in an aggregate volume of USD 750 million and in reliance on Regulation S through a private placement to institutional investors that are not U.S. persons only outside the United States of America, Australia, South Africa and Japan (the "Offering"). The number of Shares underlying the Bonds will be approximately 11.2 million, representing approximately 5.1% of the Company's current issued and outstanding share capital (subject to any adjustment of the conversion ratio pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bonds).

The Company plans to issue the Bonds with a maturity of 7 years. The Bonds will be issued at par, will bear interest at a rate of 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear, and will, unless previously converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, be redeemed at par at maturity. The Company may redeem all, but not some only, of the Bonds outstanding at par plus accrued interest with effect on or after September 25, 2030 if the price of a Share is equal to or exceeds 150% of the prevailing conversion price on each trading day within a certain period, or if 20% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds originally issued are outstanding and held by persons other than the Company and its subsidiaries. Holders of the Bonds will be entitled to require an early redemption of their Bonds on the fifth anniversary of their issue, at par plus accrued interest. The initial conversion price is expected to be set at a 40% to 45% premium over the reference share price which will be equal to the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange today, August 28, 2025.

The final terms of the Bonds will be expected to be determined later today, August 28, 2025 and will be announced in a separate press release.

In the event of an exercise of their conversion right, holders of the Bonds will receive a cash amount equivalent to the par value of the Bonds, plus a number of Shares such that the sum of the cash amount and value of Shares delivered is equivalent to the value of the Shares underlying the Bonds, as determined in the terms and conditions.

The expected settlement date of the Bonds is September 4, 2025, and application will be made for the Bonds to be admitted to trading on the Open Market (Freiverkehr) segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

QIAGEN intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing indebtedness.

In connection with the Offering, QIAGEN will agree not to sell any securities that are substantially similar to the Bonds or its Shares for a lock-up period ending 90 calendar days following the settlement date of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions and waiver by the Joint Global Coordinators.

BNP PARIBAS, BofA Securities and Goldman Sachs Bank Europe are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners alongside Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Jefferies and Moelis & Company as Joint Bookrunners on the issue of the Bonds.

None of the Joint Bookrunners or any of their affiliates, or their or their affiliates' respective directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information in this press release (or whether any information has been omitted from the press release) or any other information relating to QIAGEN, its subsidiaries or associated companies, whether written, oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of this press release or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

In addition, the Joint Bookrunners and any of their affiliates may enter into financing arrangements (including swaps or contracts for differences) with investors in connection with which the Joint Bookrunners and any of their affiliates may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of Bonds. The Joint Bookrunners do not intend to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so.

A communication that a transaction is or that the book is "covered" (i.e. indicated demand from investors in the book equals or exceeds the amount of the Shares being offered) is not any indication or assurance that the book will remain covered or that the transaction and Shares will be fully distributed by the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners reserve the right to take up a portion of the Shares in the Offering as a principal position at any stage at their sole discretion, inter alia, to take account of the objectives of the Issuer, MiFID II requirements and in accordance with allocation policies.

MiFID II professionals / ECPs-only (all distribution channels) / No PRIIPs KID / No sales to retail investors in the EEA and the UK

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MIFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Bonds have been subject to a product approval process which has determined that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual or legal selling restrictions in relation to any offering of the Bonds and/or the underlying shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Bonds.

The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means (a) in the EEA, a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 as amended or superseded (the "Insurance Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a Qualified Investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation and (b) in the UK, a person who is one (or more) of (i) a retail client within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the UK (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a Qualified Investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") or the EU PRIIPS Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPS Regulation") for offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation and/or the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
