AI summary of each reported item and its exhibits
Item 1.01 · Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
- Itron issued $805M total in 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due March 2032 ($700M firm + $105M overallotment fully exercised) via Rule 144A private placement
- Zero-coupon structure means no cash interest cost; conversion price set at ~$123.77/share (8.0793 shares per $1,000 principal), implying ~30% premium to Feb 23 stock price (~$95.21)
- Capped call transactions cost $92.8M, covering ~6.5M shares with strike at $123.77 and cap at $190.42 (100% premium to stock price), limiting dilution up to that cap level
- Company callable from March 20, 2030 if stock trades ≥130% of conversion price for 20 of 30 days; holders can force repurchase at 100% of par upon fundamental change
