Tempe, AZ – November 12, 2019 – NortonLifeLock (NASDAQ: NLOK) (the “Company”) today announced the extension of and amendments to its convertible notes.

The Company has entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners (“Silver Lake”) and Bain Capital (“Bain”) (collectively the “Convertible Holders”) with respect to its $500 million 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due April 1, 2021 (“$500 million Convertible Notes”) and its $1.25 billion 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due August 15, 2021 (“$1.25 billion Convertible Notes”) to:

• Extend the maturity date of both the $500 million Convertible Notes and the $1.25 billion Convertible Notes by one year each, to April 1, 2022 and August 15, 2022, respectively, and to make other amendments to limit the early conversion, redemption and repurchase of the convertible notes;
• Finalize the manner in which the Convertible Holders will participate in the expected $12 per share Special Dividend.

Details on the amendments to the convertible notes can be found in the Company’s 8-K filing with the SEC filed today. The extension and amendments will become effective at the time of the payment of the expected $12 Special Dividend.

“Our agreement to extend and amend the convertible notes is a further step to strengthen our capital structure”, said Vincent Pilette, NortonLifeLock CEO. “Together with the announcement of our Term Loan and Revolver refinancing on November 4th, we have extended or refinanced all debt that was scheduled to mature prior to fiscal 2023. We appreciate the contributions and support of Silver Lake and Bain since their initial investments in 2016 and look forward to continuing to partner with them as we transition to a pure play consumer Cyber Safety company.”

How the Convertible Holders will be treated with respect to the Special Dividend

When the Company distributes the expected Special Dividend of $12 per share, the Company would make a payment to the Convertible Holders of $12 per each share underlying $250 million of the $500 million Convertible Notes and $12 per each share underlying $625 million of the $1.25 billion Convertible Notes, in each case in lieu of a conversion price adjustment.

The remaining $250 million of the $500 million Convertible Notes and $625 million of the $1.25 billion Convertible Notes would not receive a cash payment in connection with the Special Dividend, but instead would receive a conversion price adjustment with respect to such Special Dividend in accordance with the conversion price adjustment provisions of such notes.

The Company believes this approach will strengthen our capital structure and align the interests of all stakeholders.
