Material Changes and Transaction Details
Workday entered into a Purchase Agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., and Barclays Capital Inc. as representatives. The transaction includes:
- Over-Allotment Option: Representatives were granted an option to purchase up to an additional $40 million of 2018 Notes and $30 million of 2020 Notes.
- Hedge Transactions: Workday entered into convertible note hedge transactions (purchased options) covering approximately 3.7 million shares for the 2018 Notes and 2.7 million shares for the 2020 Notes to reduce potential dilution upon conversion.
- Warrant Transactions: Workday sold warrants to the counterparties to acquire up to approximately 3.7 million shares (2018) and 2.7 million shares (2020) at a strike price of approximately $107.96 per share. These warrants are separate from the notes and may have a dilutive effect if the stock price exceeds the strike price.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Conversion and Repurchase Rights:
- Notes are convertible into cash, shares, or a combination at Workday's election.
- Holders may require Workday to repurchase notes at 100% of principal plus accrued interest in the event of a "fundamental change."
- Early conversion is permitted under specific conditions, such as if the stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period.
Events of Default:
- Failure to pay interest or principal.
- Failure to convert notes upon holder exercise.
- Default on other indebtedness exceeding $35 million.
- Final judgments against the company of $35 million or more.
- Bankruptcy or insolvency events.
Risks: The warrant transactions may result in dilution to earnings per share if the market value of Class A Common Stock exceeds the $107.96 strike price. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final exercise of the over-allotment option for the additional $70 million in notes.
- Review the attached Indentures (Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2) for specific covenants and conversion adjustment mechanics.
- Monitor the market price of Workday stock relative to the $107.96 warrant strike price to assess potential dilution.
- Confirm the actual cash outflow for hedge transactions versus the estimated $44.9 million cited in the filing.
- Check subsequent filings for any repurchase of notes triggered by fundamental changes or early conversion events.
