(EFI) announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and Sept. 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2015. The notes will mature on Sept. 1, 2019, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
The company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to pay the cost of certain convertible note hedge transactions, taking into account the proceeds to the company from the sale of warrants pursuant to certain warrant transactions and to repurchase up to $10 million of shares of the company’s common stock in privately negotiated transactions.
