EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW) (the “Company”), a leading provider of pawn transactions in the United States and Latin America, announced today that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Company expects to grant the initial purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period from, and including, the date on which the Convertible Notes are first issued, up to an additional $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are expected to pay interest semiannually in arrears and will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 15, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to June 15, 2029, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and thereafter, will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, repurchase rights and other terms of the Convertible Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering.
