Harmonic expects that those holders of the 2020 Notes that sell their 2020 Notes may enter into or unwind various derivatives with respect to Harmonic's common stock and/or purchase or sell shares of Harmonic's common stock in the market to hedge their exposure in connection with these transactions. In particular, Harmonic expects that many holders of the 2020 Notes employ a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to the 2020 Notes and have a short position with respect to Harmonic's common stock that they would close, through purchases of Harmonic's common stock, in connection with Harmonic's repurchase of their 2020 Notes. If any such activity occurs, it could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Harmonic's common stock or the notes at that time.
Neither the notes, nor any shares of Harmonic's common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, have been, nor will be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, such securities may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
