Etsy Raises $1B Via Debt In Private Institutional Offering

Etsy Inc ETSY priced $1 billion 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2028 to raise $986.7 million in a private institutional offering.
The initial conversion price of $246.80 per share represents a 45% premium to the June 8 closing price of $170.21.
