SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Porch Group, Inc. ('Porch Group,' 'Porch' or 'the Company') (NASDAQ: PRCH), a new kind of homeowners insurance company, today announced the completion of its previously announced refinancing transactions (the 'Refinancing Transactions'), retiring all but approximately $29 million of the Company's outstanding 0.75% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the '2026 Notes'). In addition, the Company announced that the board of directors has authorized management to repurchase up to the remaining $29 million of 2026 Notes in cash from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
'We are extremely pleased with the closing of these Refinancing Transactions, working towards our goal of 2-3x leverage while limiting shareholder dilution,' said Shawn Tabak, Porch Group CFO. 'This is a significant milestone for our Company that provides a clear path to repurchasing the remaining 2026 Notes and eliminates one of the key remaining risks for our shareholders, positioning our balance sheet for the next phase of growth.'
Refinancing Transactions
On May 27, 2025, Porch repurchased $144.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and issued $134.0 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 9.00% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030 ('2030 Notes') in a private placement. The Company expects to use existing cash on the balance sheet along with approximately $4 million of additional cash raised in the Refinancing Transactions to retire the outstanding 2026 Notes.
The 2030 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of common stock of the Company ('common stock'), or a combination thereof, at Porch's election, at an initial conversion price of approximately $15.72 (representing an approximately 60% premium to the volume weighted average price of Porch's common stock for the three trading days immediately following May 19, 2025). The 2030 Notes are also redeemable at the option of the Company on or after November 20, 2026, if the last reported sale price of Porch's common stock has been at least 20% higher than the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period. If Porch is able to exercise this redemption option on November 20, 2026, only three full semi-annual interest payments will have been paid prior to such redemption.
Following closing of the Refinancing Transactions, Porch Group's outstanding debt now consists of:
$29.4 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026, which the Company expects to settle prior to maturity with cash from its balance sheet and approximately $4 million of incremental capital resulting from this transaction;
$333.3 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (which have a conversion price of approximately $25.00 per share); and
$134.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.00% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030, with an initial conversion price equal to approximately $15.72 per share, which equates to approximately 8.5 million shares as of closing. The Company intends to redeem the 2030 Notes, assuming Porch's stock price performs over the next 18 months as management expects.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC served as exclusive placement agent for the 2030 Notes. Sidley Austin LLP acted as legal advisor to Porch Group.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the 2030 Notes, or any other securities, and will not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
