Dynegy Inc.

 

PRICING TERM SHEET

 

4,000,000 7.00% Tangible Equity Units

(the “Units”)

 

This pricing term sheet should be read together with the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 15, 2016 relating to the offering by Dynegy Inc. of the Units (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), the accompanying prospectus dated October 6, 2014 and the documents incorporated by reference therein.  Any terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.  The following information supplements and updates the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and, to the extent conflicting, supersedes such information.

 

Issuer:

Dynegy Inc.

 

 

Title of Securities:

7.00% Tangible Equity Units

 

 

Stated Amount:

Each Unit has a stated amount of $100.00

 

 

Number of Units Offered:

4,000,000 (plus up to 600,000 additional Units at the option of the underwriters, solely to cover over-allotments)

 

 

Composition of Units:

Each Unit is comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract (each, a “Purchase Contract”) and a senior amortizing note due 2019 (each, an “Amortizing Note”), issued by the Issuer. Each Amortizing Note has an initial principal amount of $18.9491, bears interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum and has a scheduled final installment payment date of July 1, 2019.

 


 

Initial Principal Amount of Amortizing Notes:

Initially, $18.9491 per Amortizing Note and, in the aggregate, approximately, $75,796,400 (or $87,165,860 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional Units in full).

 

 

Ticker / Exchange for the Issuer’s common stock:

DYN / New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”)

 

 

Closing Price of the Issuer’s common stock on the NYSE on June 15, 2016:

$16.13 per share

 

 

Reference Price:

$16.13 per share of the Issuer’s common stock, subject to adjustment.  The initial Reference Price is equal to the Closing Price of the Issuer’s common stock on the NYSE on June 15, 2016.

 

 

Threshold Appreciation Price:

$19.92 per share of the Issuer’s common stock, subject to adjustment.  The initial Threshold Appreciation Price represents an appreciation of approximately 23.5% above the initial Reference Price. 

 

 

Minimum Settlement Rate:

5.0201 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, subject to adjustment, which is approximately equal to the $100.00 Stated Amount divided by the initial Threshold Appreciation Price.

 

 

Maximum Settlement Rate:

6.1996 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, subject to adjustment, which is approximately equal to the $100.00 Stated Amount divided by the initial Reference Price.

 

 

Delivery of Common Stock:

Subject to the assumptions and provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the following table illustrates that a holder of a Unit or a separate Purchase Contract, as applicable, will receive upon mandatory settlement the following numbers of shares of the Issuer’s common stock at the following assumed constant daily VWAPs:

As the above table illustrates, if, for the applicable observation period, the daily VWAP remains constant and is greater than or equal to the Threshold Appreciation Price of $19.92 per share, the Issuer would be obligated to deliver upon settlement of the Purchase Contract 5.0201 shares of the Issuer’s common stock for each Purchase Contract. As a result, a holder would receive only approximately 81.0% of the appreciation in market value of the Issuer’s common stock that such holder would have received had such holder purchased $100.00 worth of shares of the Issuer’s common stock at the Reference Price instead of a Unit.

 

If, for the applicable observation period, the daily VWAP remains constant and is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price of $19.92 per share but greater than the Reference Price of $16.13 per share, the Issuer would be obligated to deliver a number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock upon mandatory settlement equal to $100.00, divided by such constant daily VWAP. As a result, the Purchase Contracts will settle at the money, and a holder would not receive the benefit of any appreciation in the market value of the Issuer’s common stock.

 

If, for the applicable observation period, the daily VWAP remains constant and is less than or equal to the Reference Price of $16.13 per share, the Issuer would be obligated to deliver upon settlement of the Purchase Contract 6.1996 shares of the Issuer’s common stock for each Purchase Contract. As a result, the holder would realize a loss on the decline in market value of the Issuer’s common stock below the Reference Price.

 

Early Settlement Upon a Fundamental Change:

The following table sets forth the fundamental change early settlement rate, subject to adjustment, per Purchase Contract for each stock price, subject to adjustment, and effective date set forth below:

settle the Purchase Contracts early or to redeem the purchase contracts in connection with an acquisition termination redemption, then holders of Amortizing Notes (whether as components of Units or separate Amortizing Notes) will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase some or all of their Amortizing Notes for cash at a repurchase price per Amortizing Note equal to the principal amount of such Amortizing Note as of the repurchase date, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to, but excluding, the repurchase date, calculated at a rate of 7.00% per annum (as increased by any additional interest).

The Amortizing Notes will pay holders equal quarterly installments of $1.7500 (or, in the case of the installment payment due on October 1, 2016, $1.9444) per Amortizing Note, which in the aggregate will be equivalent to a 7.00% cash payment per year with respect to each $100.00 Stated Amount of each Unit.
