Mirion Technologies Announces Pricing of Upsized $350.0 Million Offering of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2030

Mirion Technologies, Inc. ("Mirion") (NYSE:MIR), today announced the pricing of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Notes") in a private placement (the "Offering") to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The size of the Offering was increased from the previously announced $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.

In connection with the Offering, Mirion granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Offering is expected to close on May 23, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of Mirion and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2025, at a rate of 0.25% per year. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Mirion estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $339.1 million (or approximately $387.7 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full) after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated Offering expenses payable by Mirion. Mirion expects the net proceeds from the Offering will be used as follows: (i) to pay the approximately $39.1 million cost of the capped call transactions described below; (ii) to repay $250.0 million of the outstanding term loans under its senior secured term loan; (iii) to pay $31.0 million to repurchase shares of Mirion's Class A common stock; and (iv) the balance for general corporate purposes and working capital. Mirion expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties (as defined below) and the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes and working capital.

The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders in certain circumstances. The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Mirion's Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Mirion's Class A common stock, at Mirion's election. The initial conversion rate is 43.2751 shares of Mirion's Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.11 per share of Mirion's Class A common stock, which represents a conversion premium of 32.5% to the last reported sale price of Mirion's Class A common stock on The New York Stock Exchange on May 20, 2025), and will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Mirion may not redeem the Notes prior to June 6, 2028. Mirion may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain limitations), at its option, on or after June 6, 2028, but only if a certain liquidity condition has been satisfied and the last reported sale price of Mirion's Class A 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 Mirion provides notice of redemption 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 redemption date. If Mirion redeems less than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $100 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant redemption notice.

If Mirion undergoes a "fundamental change," (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes), subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, holders may require Mirion 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 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if Mirion delivers a notice of redemption, Mirion will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Mirion entered into capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers thereof or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the "Option Counterparties"). The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of Mirion's Class A common stock initially underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Mirion's Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments Mirion is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

The cap price of the capped call transactions relating to the Notes will initially be $34.88, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of Mirion's Class A common stock on The New York Stock Exchange on May 20, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, Mirion expects the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Mirion's Class A common stock and/or purchase shares of Mirion's Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Mirion's Class A common stock or the trading price of the Notes at that time.

In addition, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Mirion's Class A common stock and/or purchasing or selling Mirion's Class A common stock or other securities of Mirion in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and (x) are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes or following any repurchase of the Notes in connection with any redemption or fundamental change and (y) are likely to do so following any other repurchase of the Notes, if Mirion elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Mirion's Class A common stock or the Notes which could affect a noteholder's ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes, this could affect the number of shares, if any, and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its Notes.

Concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, Mirion entered into privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers or one of its affiliates to use $31.0 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to repurchase shares of Mirion's Class A common stock. Mirion repurchased shares of Class A common stock sold short by initial investors in this Offering at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price per share of Mirion's Class A common stock on the date hereof, which was $17.44 per share. Such repurchases of shares of Mirion's Class A common stock are separate from, and in addition to, repurchases under Mirion's existing stock repurchase program. These repurchases could have affected the market price of Mirion's Class A common stock prior to, concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes, and could have resulted in a higher effective conversion price for the Notes. Mirion cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it had on the market price of Mirion's Class A common stock or the conversion price for the Notes. The Offering of the Notes is not contingent upon the repurchase of any Class A common stock.

The Notes sold in the Offering were only offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act by means of a private offering memorandum. The Notes and any shares of Mirion's Class A common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
