ZipRecruiter Shares Rise After Debt Repurchase Deal
By Anvee Bhutani
ZipRecruiter shares rose Thursday after the online employment marketplace said it agreed to repurchase a large portion of its outstanding debt at a discount.
Shares were recently up 16% at $3.85. The stock has more than doubled over the past three months.
The company said it has entered into agreements to repurchase about $295 million of its 5% senior notes due 2030 for about $230 million in cash, a discount of about $65 million to the notes' face value.
Following the transactions, which are expected to close by June 30, the roughly $255 million principal amount of the notes will remain outstanding, down from the original $550 million issuance.
Chief Executive Ian Siegel said the repurchases would allow the company to retire more than half of its outstanding debt while maintaining a strong cash position.
ZipRecruiter said the move reduces its debt burden and increases financial flexibility as it continues investing in growth and artificial-intelligence initiatives.
