Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. | ||||
On May 19, 2026 (the “Call Notice Date”), Granite Construction Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that it called the outstanding $273.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) for redemption on August 10, 2026. Holders of the 2028 Notes may surrender their 2028 Notes for conversion at any time before the close of business on August 6, 2026. The Company elected to settle conversions on or after the Call Notice Date and through the close of business on August 6, 2026 by paying cash up to $2,617.40 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be converted and delivering shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess thereof. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, dated as of May 11, 2023, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the 2028 Notes were issued, settlement amounts due to holders of the 2028 Notes that validly convert their 2028 Notes before the close of business on August 6, 2026 will be determined by the Company over an observation period consisting of the 50 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, May 27, 2026 (the “Observation Period”).
The Company has determined that a Market Disruption Event (as defined in the Indenture) occurred on each of July 9 and July 10, 2026, and, accordingly, neither July 9 nor July 10, 2026 are trading days for purposes of the Observation Period. As a result, the Company expects that the Observation Period that began on May 27, 2026 will run through, and include, August 10, 2026 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, July 9 and July 10, 2026), subject to any future Market Disruption Events that may occur. The Company expects to settle the conversion of 2028 Notes validly surrendered for conversion in connection with the redemption on August 12, 2026, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
