Snap Inc. Is Planning a $1B Private Offering With an Eye Toward Acquisitions

The convertible senior notes will mature Aug. 1, 2026

Snapchat parent Snap Inc. appears to be in acquisition mode.

The company said Tuesday that it is planning a private offering of $1 billion of convertible senior notes due in 2026, to qualified institutional buyers, with the initial purchasers to be granted an option to purchase an additional $150 million of notes.

The move follows last month’s strong second-quarter-2019 earnings report and the company’s stock surging past its $17-per-share March 2017 initial public offering price, also last month.
