Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On January 5, 2024, we notified the holders of our outstanding 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 that we have elected to redeem the remaining $24 million principal balance of the Notes. As a result of this notice the Notes became immediately convertible into HCI common shares. The redemption date is March 15, 2024. The current conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, is 16.5893 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The company expects all holders will elect to convert their Notes. Such conversions will have no impact on HCI’s diluted share count.

 

In addition, the Notes became convertible per the terms of the Note Indenture which provides that the Notes will become convertible during a quarter when the share price for 20 trading days during the final 30 trading days of the immediately preceding quarter was greater than 130% of the Conversion Price. Our common shares traded above this mark for more than 20 trading days from November 16 to December 29, 2023. The Indenture appears as Exhibit 4.1 to our Form 8-K filed March 3, 2017.

 

The current Conversion Rate for the Notes is 16.5893 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment in the event of certain common dividends are declared. All Note Holders who wish to convert their notes into shares of HCI common stock must provide a Notice of Conversion as provided in Section 13.02(b) of the Indenture.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "confident," "prospects" and "project" and other similar words and expressions are intended to signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather are subject to various risks and uncertainties. For example, there can be no assurance that all holders will elect to convert their Notes. Some of these risks and uncertainties are identified in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the company's business, financial condition and results of operations. HCI Group, Inc. disclaims all obligations to update any forward-looking statements.

 

Our corresponding press release appears as Exhibit 99.1 to this form 8-K.
