Plug Power Faces Investor Backlash Over New Financial Terms
Friday, 15 March 2024, 18:42
Plug Power is still struggling
This week's drop came after the company announced another move to shore up its finances, seemingly contradicting what CEO Andy Marsh had previously implied. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Tuesday, Plug said it was making a financial move that will end up costing it more cash.
Key Points:
- The company exchanged $140 million in existing 3.75% convertible senior notes due in 2025 for new 7.00% notes due in 2026.
- Holders of the new notes could force Plug to repurchase them in case of a fundamental change before the maturity date, increasing financial risk.
Plug Power's decision to increase interest expenses and financial risk might require further financial support or government grants for future sustainability.
