Registration Statement No. 333-137813
Comverge, Inc.
This free writing prospectus relates only to the securities described below and should be read together with the preliminary prospectus dated March 23, 2007 relating to this offering (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) included in Amendment No. 7 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-137813) relating to these securities. The most recent Registration Statement can be accessed through the following link: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1372664/000119312507077007/ds1a.htm
This free writing prospectus supplements and updates certain information in the Preliminary Prospectus primarily to reflect an increase in the size of the offering by 612,500 shares of common stock, an increase in the over-allotment option to be granted by certain selling stockholders by 91,875 shares, the pricing of our initial public offering at $18.00 per share and certain related matters. In the Preliminary Prospectus, we proposed to offer 4,687,500 shares of our common stock at an estimated price range of between $15.00 and $17.00 with an over-allotment option of 703,125 shares to be granted by certain selling stockholders.
| Common stock offered by us: |
5,300,000 shares | |
| Common stock offered by selling stockholders pursuant to the over-allotment option: |
795,000 shares | |
| Common stock outstanding after this offering: |
17,517,723 shares | |
| Initial public offering price per share: |
$18.00 per share | |
| Net proceeds to us: |
Our net proceeds from the sale of 5,300,000 shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $86.1 million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. | |
| Use of proceeds: |
We plan to use the net proceeds to finance the capital requirements of our current and future VPC contracts, to finance research and development, to repay indebtedness, to fund any cash consideration for future acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option. | |
| Pro forma as adjusted balance sheet data: |
Based on the initial public offering price of $18.00 per share, as of December 31, 2006, our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents would have been approximately $88.8 million, our pro forma as adjusted total assets would have been $113.9 million, our pro forma as adjusted total long-term debt would have been $4.0 million, and our pro forma as adjusted stockholders’ equity would have been $94.5 million. | |
| Pro forma as adjusted capitalization: |
Based on the initial public offering price of $18.00 per share, as of December 31, 2006, our pro forma as adjusted total debt would have been $4.0 million, our pro forma as adjusted stockholders’ equity for common stock would have been $17,000, our pro forma as adjusted additional paid-in capital would have been $146.6 million, our pro forma as adjusted total stockholders’ equity would have been $94.5 million, and our pro forma as adjusted total capitalization would have been $98.5 million. | |
| Dilution: |
On a pro forma as adjusted basis, after giving effect to the conversion of our preferred stock into common stock, the 1 for 2 reverse stock split of our common stock and the sale of 5,300,000 shares of common stock in this offering at the initial public offering price of $18.00 per share, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2006 would have been approximately $93.8 million, or $26.87 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $4.76 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $12.61 per share to new investors purchasing common stock in the offering. Investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering will have purchased approximately 30.5% of the shares of our outstanding common stock immediately following the completion of this offering and will have contributed approximately 65.5% of the total consideration paid for our common stock. | |
| If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the number of shares of common stock held by new investors will increase to approximately 6,095,000 shares, or approximately 33.5% of the total number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering, our existing stockholders would own approximately 66.5% of the total number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock would be approximately $5.16 and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock to new investors would be $12.84.
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, and including 138,751 shares issued in 2007 upon exercise of stock options, the 6,095,000 shares held by new investors would represent approximately 34.0% of the total number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering and our existing stockholders would own approximately 66.0% of the total number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering. The pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock would be approximately $5.13 and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock to new investors would be $12.87.
The discussion above assumes no exercise of the stock options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,792,797 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006, with a weighted average exercise price of $4.28 per share, or the issuance of restricted common shares and shares pursuant to options that we have granted under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan in connection with this offering. To the extent any of these options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. The following table summarizes the effect that the exercise of all currently outstanding stock options and warrants would have on the information set forth above, as well as the effect that the exercise of all of the options and restricted common shares anticipated to be issued in connection with this offering would have on that table: | ||
