Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 21, 2023, Upwork Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with a limited number of holders of its 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to repurchase (the “Repurchases”) approximately $196.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes.
The repurchase price payable by the Company will be paid in cash and will be based in part on the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over a two consecutive trading day measurement period beginning on, and including, March 22, 2023. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the amount of cash that the Company will pay to complete the Repurchases until completion of the measurement period, the Company estimates that it will expend approximately $157 million in cash to consummate the Repurchases.
The Company previously entered into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes. All of these transactions are expected to remain in effect notwithstanding the Repurchases.
The Repurchases are expected to close on or about March 27, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following such closings, approximately $378.2 million principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding.
