PLAINVIEW, N.Y.– Veeco Instruments Inc. (“Veeco”) (NASDAQ: VECO) today announced that it has entered into a privately negotiated note purchase agreement with Lynrock Lake LP under which Veeco will repurchase approximately $111.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Veeco’s outstanding 2.70% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) from Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP for cash consideration of approximately $115.6 million, and approximately $1.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
Veeco首席执行官比尔·米勒（Bill Miller）评论说：“我们很高兴采取这一步骤来改善我们的资本结构。”“通过此回购，Veeco将退休我们2023年债务成熟义务的80％以上。这项交易降低了我们的资产负债表，减少了潜在的稀释，并使我们能够专注于继续我们的增长策略。”
