Repurchase of Convertible Notes

Pegasystems Inc. (the “Company”) today announced that it had repurchased $33.00 million in original principal amount of the Company’s 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) at a discounted price of $90.25 per $100.00 in original principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, in a privately negotiated transaction. Following the Note repurchase, $567.0 million in original principal amount of Notes remain outstanding.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase additional outstanding Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Further, any such purchases or exchanges may result in the Company acquiring and retiring a substantial amount of the Notes, which could impact the trading liquidity of the Notes, and any such purchases or exchanges may also affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

For further information, please refer to the Company’s reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
