Mirion Technologies Announces Proposed Public Offering of Class A Common Stock

Mirion Technologies, Inc. (“Mirion”) (NYSE: MIR) today announced the commencement of an underwritten public offering of $350.0 million of shares of Mirion’s Class A common stock (the “common stock offering”). Mirion also intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million of shares of its Class A common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The common stock offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the common stock offering may be completed or as to the actual size or terms of the common stock offering.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Evercore ISI, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are acting as joint book-running managers for the common stock offering.

Mirion expects to use the net proceeds from the common stock offering, together with the net proceeds from Mirion’s concurrent convertible notes offering (as defined below), if consummated, to (i) pay the cost of the capped call transactions to be entered into with one or more of the initial purchasers in the concurrent convertible notes offering or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions in connection with the pricing of the concurrent convertible notes offering and (ii) fund its planned acquisition of all of the outstanding membership interests of WCI-Gigawatt Intermediate Holdco, LLC, as the indirect parent of Paragon Energy Solutions, LLC (the “Acquisition”), with the remainder for general corporate purposes. If the Acquisition is not consummated for any reason, Mirion expects to use the net proceeds from the common stock offering, together with the net proceeds from the concurrent convertible notes offering, if consummated, remaining after payment of the cost of the capped call transactions for general corporate purposes.

In a separate press release and concurrently with the common stock offering, Mirion also announced today its intent, subject to market and other conditions, to offer $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “concurrent convertible notes offering” and, together with the common stock offering, the “offerings”). Mirion also intends to grant to the initial purchasers in the concurrent convertible notes offering an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The completion of the common stock offering is not contingent on the completion of the concurrent convertible notes offering, and the completion of the concurrent convertible notes offering is not contingent on the completion of the common stock offering.

The common stock offering will be made pursuant to a shelf registration statement, including a base prospectus, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 17, 2022, and declared effective on November 28, 2022. The common stock offering will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the other documents Mirion has filed or will file with the SEC for more complete information about Mirion and the common stock offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
