Furthermore, Enphase said it expected to enter into hedge transactions to reduce or offset any potential dilution to its stock upon conversion of the notes, or offset cash payments it may be required to make in excess of the total amount of notes, and some of the proceeds would be used to accommodate these payments.

Enphase added that any remaining net proceeds would be used for working capital and other corporate purposes.

The note issue comes a fortnight after the company reported its full-year results for 2020, shipping nearly 7 million microinverter units – a new record for the firm – contributing towards record annual revenues of US$264.8 million.
