The size of the offering reflects an increase from the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes originally proposed to be sold. Bentley also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the first date on which the Notes are issued. Bentley expects the offering to close on January 26, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.\n\nThe Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Bentley and will bear interest at a rate of 0.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2021. The Notes will mature on January 15, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The initial conversion rate will be 15.5925 shares of Bentley’s Class B common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $64.13 per share of Class B common stock).
