New Mountain Finance Corporation Announces Pricing of $100 Million of 5.00% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes Due June 2019

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2014--New Mountain Finance Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: NMFC) announced today the pricing of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Company has also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $15 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

The Notes will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 62.7746 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.93 per share of common stock, representing a 12.50% conversion premium over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on May 28, 2014, which was $14.16 per share. The conversion price for the Notes will not be reduced for quarterly cash dividends paid to holders of common shares at or below the rate of $0.34 per share, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments.

The Notes will mature on June 15, 2019, unless previously converted in accordance with their terms. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2014. The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company, will rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured debt, and will rank senior in right of payment to any potential subordinated debt, should any be issued in the future.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital purposes. However, through reborrowing under such credit facilities, the Company intends to make new investments in accordance with its investment objective and strategies. The Notes have no restrictions related to the type and security of assets in which the Company might invest.

The Notes and the shares of common stock underlying the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state.
