U.S. health information service provider, WebMD Health, is raising $350 million in a note sale. The convertible bonds, which carry a coupon rate of 2.5%, will mature in 2018.
WebMD is seeking to use $100 million of the net proceeds from offering, which is expected to close on Jan 11, 2011, to repurchase about 1.9 million shares of its common stock at $52.07 per share. It may also use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes like acquisitions and additional repurchases of its common stock.
