On February 5, 2020, Nuance Communications, Inc. (“Nuance”) issued a notice of full redemption pursuant to the indenture governing its 2.75% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2031 (CUSIP No. 67020Y AF7) (the “2.75% Senior Notes”) announcing that it intends to redeem all of its outstanding 2.75% Senior Notes on March 11, 2020 (such date, the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2.75% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
The 2.75% Senior Notes may be converted at any time before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 10, 2020, the business day prior to the Redemption Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the 2.75% Senior Notes and the underlying indenture.
