Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 15, 2024, each then-outstanding share of the 5.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) of RBC Bearings Incorporated (the “Company”) convert into 0.4413 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”). The conversion rate was based on a value for the Common Stock equal to the lower of (i) the average of the daily VWAPs in the 20-trading-day period through October 14, 2024 (the daily VWAP is the per share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for a given trading day as reported by Bloomberg) or (ii) $226.63. Because the VWAP average for the 20 trading days through October 14 was $292.55, the $226.63 Common Stock value was utilized to produce the conversion rate of 0.4413 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock. This is known as the “Minimum Conversion Rate” in the Certificate of Designations defining the terms of the Preferred Stock.
The dividend on the Preferred Stock that accrued through the conversion date was paid on the conversion date to holders of record on October 1, 2024 and therefore was not factored into the conversion rate.
The Company issued 2,029,955 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.
Because the Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding, the Company will not pay dividends on the Preferred Stock in the future. This will amount to a cash savings of $23.0 million per year.
