ビジネスワイヤ(英語)
Varex Imaging Corporation (Nasdaq: VREX) today announced it has
priced a private offering (the “Offering”) of $125 million
aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior secured notes due
October 15, 2027 (the “notes”) at an offering price of 101.5% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from
October 15, 2024. The notes offered hereby will be issued as
“Additional Notes” under the Indenture and will constitute a
further issuance of our 7.875% senior secured notes due 2027, which
were initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $300
million on September 30, 2020, of which $243 million aggregate
principal amount is outstanding. Varex intends to use the net
proceeds from the sale of the notes to fund the partial repayment
of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes due June 2025, on
their maturity date or to repurchase part of the Convertible Notes
prior to their maturity date.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on December 20,
2024, subject to the satisfaction of other customary conditions.
Following the consummation of this offering of the notes, Varex
intends to terminate its Equipment Credit Agreement, dated April
26, 2024, in the amount of $20 million.
The notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly
and severally, by its existing and future domestic subsidiaries and
certain foreign subsidiaries that guarantee Varex’s Revolving
Credit Facility. The notes and the related guarantees will be
secured by a first priority security interest in certain of its and
the guarantors’ equipment, capital stock and intellectual property
and certain of its real property that does not secure the
obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, and a second lien,
junior to the liens that secure obligations under the Revolving
Credit Facility, on inventory, accounts receivables, cash, accounts
and intercompany loans and certain of its real property, in each
case subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.
The notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state or other
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state laws. Varex plans to offer and issue the notes only to
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States
pursuant to Regulation S. The notes will be subject to restrictions
on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold
except in compliance with the registration requirements of the
Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and in
compliance with other applicable securities laws.

involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Varex’s actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated. While
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses
made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet
our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and
uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance,
and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations.
Such risks and uncertainties include changes to our plans;
reduction in or loss of business of one or more of our limited OEM
customers; loss of business to, and an inability to effectively
compete with competitors; market erosion or loss of customers due
to pricing pressures and other factors; failure to meet customers’
needs and demands; economic instability, shifting political
environments, changing tax treatment, reactionary import/export
regulatory regimes, and other risks associated with doing business
internationally; supply chain disruptions; inability to maintain or
defend intellectual property rights, and the high cost of
protecting such rights and defending against infringement claims;
disruption of critical information systems or material security
breaches of such systems; non-compliance with product-related
regulations and delays in obtaining regulatory clearances or
approvals; limitations imposed by operating and financial
restrictions of our debt financing agreements; and the other risks
listed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, which by this reference are incorporated
herein. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news
release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or
events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge
from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of
them. Varex assumes no obligation to update or revise the

other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
forward-looking statements are based on information as of the date
of this release. The company assumes no obligation to publicly
update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience
or future changes make it clear that any projected results
expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
