Convertibility of 2027 Notes
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing InterDigital's 3.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2027 (the "Notes"), the Notes are convertible during its calendar quarter ending September 30, 2025. The current conversion rate of the Notes is 12.9041 shares of InterDigital's Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.
Upon the conversion of any Notes, InterDigital will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted, and will pay cash, shares of its Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its Common Stock for any conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount being converted, if any, at InterDigital's election, as set forth in the Indenture governing the Notes.
At the time InterDigital issued the Notes, InterDigital entered into call spread transactions that together were designed to have the economic effect of reducing the net number of shares that will be issued in the event of conversion of the Notes by, in effect, increasing the conversion price of the Notes from InterDigital's economic standpoint from $77.49 to $106.06. Refer to Footnote 5 of the Financial Statements from InterDigital's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 for more information.
Near Term Outlook
The Company raised its full year 2025 outlook and provided an initial outlook for third quarter 2025 in the table below. The outlook for third quarter 2025 covers existing licenses and does not include any new agreements or enforcement action results we may sign or receive over the balance of the third quarter. The outlook for full year 2025 includes both existing licenses and the expected contributions from new agreements over the balance of the year.
