Material Changes

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Instrument Terms: The Notes bear 0% interest and mature on December 1, 2026. They are convertible at an initial rate of 17.1092 shares per $1,000 principal (approx. $58.45 per share), representing a 30% premium to the stock price on November 18, 2021.
- Redemption and Repurchase: Camtek may not redeem the Notes prior to December 6, 2024, except for tax law changes. Holders have the right to require repurchase upon a "fundamental change."
- Subordination: The Notes are general unsecured obligations, ranking equal to other unsecured debt but structurally subordinated to subsidiary liabilities.
- Management Commentary: Management intends to use proceeds for general corporate purposes but has not determined specific amounts for acquisitions or investments at this time.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the $200 million debt issuance on the Company's total leverage ratios.
- Monitor the stock price relative to the $58.45 conversion price to assess dilution risk.
- Review the specific allocation of the $194.5 million net proceeds in future quarterly reports.
- Confirm the Company's ability to meet the redemption conditions if the stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price after December 6, 2024.
