Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H) Announces Pricing for Underwritten Public Offering of Class A Common Stock

What’s Going on with Hyatt Hotels Corporation?

Yesterday, Sept. 22, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H) announced the pricing of its public offering of 7,000,000 shares of the company’s Class A common stock. Hyatt intends to sell its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $74.50 per share, with proceeds going toward the pending purchase of Apple Leisure Group. Hyatt stock, as of 09:04 am EDT (pre-market) this morning, was trading at $75.75 a share, which is a 0.44% uptick in price.

What Does This Mean for Hyatt (H)?

Hyatt estimates that its sale of 7,000,000 shares of Class A common for $74.50 per share will yield net proceeds, “after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the offering,” of around $500,140,000. If the underwriters exercise their 30-day option to purchase additional shares in full (1,050,000 shares), the net proceeds bump up to roughly $575,236,000.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation plans to apply the proceeds from the offering toward funding a portion of the purchase price for its pending acquisition of Apple Leisure Group, clocking in at a $2.7 billion purchase price. If the Apple Leisure Group acquisition does not go through, Hyatt plans to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.
