TYSONS CORNER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) (“MicroStrategy”) today announced that it delivered a notice, dated September 16, 2024, of conditional full redemption (the “Notice”) to the trustee of MicroStrategy’s outstanding 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (CUSIP Nos. 594972 AF8 (144A), U59363 AA6 (Reg S) (the “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed is $500.0 million, which is equal to the current aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

MicroStrategy’s obligation to redeem any of the Notes and to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date is conditioned upon the issuance and settlement, through one or more closings, by MicroStrategy of senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million or more on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (ET) on the Redemption Date (the “Closing Condition”).

On the Redemption Date, assuming the Closing Condition is satisfied or waived, the applicable Redemption Price will become due and payable in respect of the Notes and interest on the Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date to the extent that MicroStrategy does not default in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price.
Upon Redemption of the Notes, all collateral securing the Notes, including approximately 69,080 bitcoins, will be released.
To collect the applicable Redemption Price, a holder must comply with the procedures set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, including: (i) in the case of Notes held through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures and (ii) in the case of physically held Notes, at the address of the paying agent specified in the Notice.
