Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:OPEN), a company specializing in digital platforms for residential real estate with a market capitalization of $636 million, announced on Thursday that it has entered into a series of agreements for the issuance and exchange of convertible senior notes. The company, which InvestingPro data shows operates with a significant debt burden and currently maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.71, is taking steps to restructure its obligations. The transaction involves the creation of $325 million in new 7.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, which will replace approximately $245.8 million of the existing 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026. The remaining approximately $79.2 million of the new notes will be sold for cash.
The new notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Opendoor, accruing interest at an annual rate of 7.000%, with interest payments made semi-annually. The notes are set to mature on May 15, 2030, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted earlier. While the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.99, InvestingPro analysis indicates potential challenges in making interest payments on debt.
