FREMONT, Calif., July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (NASDAQ:ENVX) ("Company" or "Enovix"), a global high-performance battery company, today announced a special dividend in the form of warrants to holders of the Company's common stock as of July 17, 2025 (the "Record Date"). Each stockholder of record as of the Record Date will receive one (1) warrant for every seven (7) shares of common stock held, rounded down to the nearest whole number. In addition, holders of the Company's 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2028 ("Convertible Notes") as of the Record Date will receive warrants on a pass-through basis, as provided under the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.
The Company expects to distribute the warrants to stockholders and other eligible recipients on or about July 21, 2025 (the "Distribution Date"). The warrants will be issued without any action required by the Company's stockholders or noteholders as of the Record Date and without any payment of cash or other consideration.
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $8.75 per share. The warrants may be exercised only for cash. Following the Distribution Date, the warrants are expected to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker ENVXW.
The transaction provides Enovix the opportunity to raise up to $253.8 million of gross proceeds with equity issued at an approximate 12% premium to the trailing 60-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of our common stock as of July 3, 2025, despite the attractive price to shareholders. Management thus intends the dividend to be an attractive source of financing due to the combination of immediate shareholder value delivered, the Company's flexibility given frictionless execution, and ability to issue equity in a very cost-efficient manner.
This announcement follows the Company's launch earlier today of the AI-1™ platform, its first Artificial Intelligence Class™ batteries for the next generation of smartphones that require significantly higher total energy storage and power to perform AI functions locally.
- "This dividend is designed to give our shareholders meaningful flexibility immediate gain and liquidity without dilution and with no obligation to act," said Ryan Benton, Enovix CFO. "We're well funded today, but if exercised, the proceeds could support scale-up of Fab2, accelerate customer ramps, and advance our strategic priorities. It's a thoughtful way to strengthen our balance sheet – and simultaneously reward our current shareholders."
- T.J. Rodgers, Chairman of Enovix, said, "I've worked with Brendan Dyson on convertible debentures for over 30 years, including some of the early work on the now-common call spreads at maturity. In this case, we instructed him to make the deal to investors that was not only immediately accretive, but also a long-term ‘must have' portfolio addition – and he did just that."
Details of Warrant Distribution
Stockholders will receive one (1) warrant for each seven (7) shares of common stock held as of the Record Date of July 17, 2025, rounded down to the nearest whole number for any fractional warrant. As an example, a stockholder who owns 1,000 shares of common stock would receive 142 warrants, and a stockholder who owns 7,000 shares of common stock would receive 1,000 warrants.
Holders of the Convertible Notes as of the Record Date will also receive warrants based on the same ratio in the manner determined by the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. As an example, holders of each $1,000 face amount of Convertible Notes will receive 9.1543 warrants, rounded down to the nearest whole number for any fractional warrant.
After the Distribution Date, warrant holders may exercise their warrants for cash as specified under the terms of the warrant agreement that we expect to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by the Distribution Date.
The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 1, 2026, unless the "Early Expiration Price Condition" is met, in which case the expiration will be accelerated.
The Early Expiration Price Condition will be deemed satisfied if, during any period of twenty (20) out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, the VWAP of the common stock equals or exceeds $10.50 (the "Early Expiration Trigger Price") whether or not consecutive (such final day, the "Early Expiration Price Condition Date"). If this condition is met, the warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the Early Expiration Price Condition Date or such other date as the Company may elect in accordance with the warrant agreement.
