The company said it intends to offer $750 million in common stock and $600 million in convertible senior notes due 2030. The offerings include options for underwriters to purchase up to an additional $112.5 million in stock and $90 million in notes to cover potential over-allotments. AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AVAV]) said proceeds from the offerings will be used to repay existing term loan debt and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, with any remaining funds earmarked for general corporate purposes, including expanding manufacturing capacity. The offerings aren't contingent on one another, and their completion depends on market conditions, the company said.
