Tesla will raise $1.15B in stock offering, Musk will buy $25M
Tesla has announced that they will be raising $1.15B in a stock offering, as the company prepares for Model 3 production and general business operations. The company is offering $250M in common stock and $750M in convertible notes. The underwriters of the offering will have a right to purchase up to 15% more than the offering within 30 days. The filing states, “Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank Securities, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are acting as lead joint book-running managers for the offering, with Barclays, BofA Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse acting as additional book-running managers.”
Tesla Founder and CEO Elon Musk announced in the press release that he was purchasing $25M of the common stock being offered. In the past Musk has participated in stock offerings, buying $100M worth of stock in February 2016. Additionally, Musk purchased $20M in an offering in August 2015. Musk stated on the Q4 2016 earnings call that he is committed to staying at the company “forever”.
The company is preparing for the fastest growth period it has experienced as they prepare to launch the Model 3. The Model 3 went into a short test production run in February, and on track for productuon start in July. The company is expected to unveil the final version of the car in June as the company wraps up it’s “Project Loveday’ commercial contest. Musk had previously hinted at a possible capital raise as the company de-risks the launch of the Model 3 and the costs associated with a rapid mass-production ramp-up.
Outspoken Tesla bear Mark Spiegel tweeted after the announcement, “Does anyone really think that another $750M of debt on TSLA ‘s balance sheet is preferable to a straight stock sale up here? Amazing!” Spiegel has in the past accused Tesla of fluffing their financial statements and not telling investors the entire story. Another outspoken bear on Tesla is Goldman Sachs, who downgraded the stock last month to a “sell”. Goldman is now one of the lead underwriters of the offering, and has an option to purchase stock in the deal.
Tesla’s stock fell .9% in trading today and after the offering was announced the stock is up over 2%.
