Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Purchase Agreement
On March 11, 2025, LCI Industries (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in their capacity as the representatives of the initial purchasers listed in Schedule I thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), relating to the sale of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) to the Initial Purchasers. The Company also granted the Initial Purchasers a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Option”).
On March 12, 2025, the Initial Purchasers notified the Company of their election to purchase an additional $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes pursuant to the Option. A total of $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes was issued by the Company to the Initial Purchasers on March 14, 2025.
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Indenture and the Notes
On March 14, 2025, the Company entered into an indenture relating to the issuance of the Notes (the “Indenture”) with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be general unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and will bear interest at the annual rate of 3.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2025. The Notes will mature on March 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted, based on the applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 8.5745 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.62 per share of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 27.5% over the $91.47 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 11, 2025. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of some events (specified in the Indenture) but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if the Company delivers a notice of Optional Redemption (as defined in the Indenture) or a notice of Cleanup Redemption (as defined in the Indenture) in respect of the Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by the number of additional shares described in the Indenture for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for Optional Redemption or called for Cleanup Redemption during the related redemption period (as defined in the Indenture), as the case may be.
Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 1, 2029, only under the following circumstances:
• | during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the Indenture) per share of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day; |
• | during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; |
• | if the Company calls such Notes for Optional Redemption or Cleanup Redemption (each as described in the Indenture), at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date, but, in the case of an Optional Redemption, only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the Indenture) for Optional Redemption; or |
• | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture. |
On or after November 1, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option prior to March 6, 2028, except in the event of a Cleanup Redemption as described in the Indenture. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation described in the Indenture), at its option, on or after March 6, 2028, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption date if (i) the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of Optional Redemption and (ii) the Liquidity Conditions (as defined in the Indenture) are met. Such redemption at the Company’s option is referred to as an Optional Redemption in the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Cleanup Redemption date if (i) the amount of the Notes that remains outstanding is less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes initially issued under the Indenture and (ii) the Liquidity Conditions are met. Such redemption at the Company’s option is referred to as a Cleanup Redemption in the Indenture. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions and a limited exception, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the Indenture).
The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Indenture and the Form of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Repurchase of 2026 Notes, Share Repurchases and Unwind of Convertible Call Spread Transactions
The Company has used approximately $370.3 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repurchase (the “Note Repurchases”) $368.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.125% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) concurrently with the pricing of the offering in separate and individually negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes.
In addition, the Company has used approximately $28.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase in cash approximately 0.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering.
In connection with issuing the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into convertible bond hedge transactions (the “Existing Hedge Transactions”) and warrant transactions (the “Existing Warrant Transactions,” and, together with the Existing Hedge Transactions, the “Existing Call Spread Transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “Existing Option Counterparties”). In connection with the Note Repurchases, the Company entered into agreements with the Existing Option Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Existing Hedge Transactions and the Existing Warrant Transactions in notional amounts corresponding to the amount of 2026 Notes repurchased. In connection with such terminations, the Company received net proceeds from the Existing Option Counterparties equal to approximately $1.4 million, which it intends to use for general corporate purposes.
Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions
On March 11, 2025, in connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Base Hedge Transactions”) with Bank of America, N.A., Bank of Montreal, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Option Counterparties”). On March 12, 2025, in connection with the Initial Purchasers’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Notes, the Company entered into additional convertible note hedge transactions (the “Additional Hedge Transactions” and, together with the Base Hedge Transactions, the “Hedge Transactions”) with the Option Counterparties.
The Hedge Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential equity dilution and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount due, as the case may be, upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock, is greater than the strike price of the Hedge Transactions, which is initially $116.6249 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments under the terms of the Hedge Transactions), corresponding to the initial conversion price of the Notes.
On March 11, 2025, the Company also entered into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties (the “Base Warrant Transactions”). On March 12, 2025, the Company entered into additional privately negotiated warrant transactions (the “Additional Warrant Transactions” and, together with the Base Warrant Transactions, the “Warrant Transactions”) with the Option Counterparties. Pursuant to the Warrant Transactions, the Company sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Notes, subject to customary adjustments. The initial strike price of the warrants is $182.94 per share (subject to adjustments under the terms of the Warrant Transactions), which is 100% above the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on March 11, 2025. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to the Company’s stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
The Company used approximately $34.8 million of the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the Hedge Transactions (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the sale of warrants in the Warrant Transactions).
The Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, entered into by the Company with the Option Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Hedge Transactions or the Warrant Transactions.
The foregoing description of the Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies of the confirmations for the Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions, which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.17 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, for resale by such Initial Purchasers to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The number of warrants and the strike price are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the respective confirmations for the Warrant Transactions.
