Canada based Canadian Solar Inc. has announced a proposed private offering of $200 million in convertible senior notes due 2031. The offering included an option for initial purchasers to acquire up to an additional $30 million. The notes were intended to be offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A. Net proceeds were planned for US manufacturing investments. Funds were also allocated for battery energy storage and solar value-chain activities. Additional uses included working capital and general corporate purposes. The notes were structured as senior unsecured obligations. They accrued semi-annual interest. The notes were scheduled to mature on January 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. Conversion into common shares was permitted before maturity. Redemption and repurchase provisions were linked to share price performance, tax-related events, or certain fundamental changes.
