Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosure under Item 8.01 below is incorporated by reference herein. The issuance of the Shares (defined below) under the Exchange Agreements (defined below) is being made pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only to investors that qualified as a “qualified institutional buyer” (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act).
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 14, 2025, Artivion, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s 4.250% Convertible Senior Notes due July 1, 2025 (the “Notes”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the Holders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $94.54 million of Notes held by the Holders in exchange for an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be determined by utilizing a formula based in part on the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over a four trading day averaging period beginning May 15, 2025 (“Shares”). Although the aggregate number of Shares will ultimately be determined based on the foregoing formula, for illustrative purposes only, if the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during such period was equal to $28.91 (the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on May 13, 2025), the aggregate number of Shares due at settlement pursuant to the Exchange Agreements would be approximately 4.1 million Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company will make a cash payment to the Holders in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanged Notes.
The transaction is expected to close on or about May 28, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Immediately following the exchange of the Notes contemplated by the Exchange Agreements, approximately $5.46 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding.
On May 14, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing entry into the Exchange Agreements. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy Shares or any other security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
