SAN DIEGO, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXWL) ("Maxwell"), a leading developer and manufacturer of capacitor energy storage and power delivery solutions, announced the sale of an additional $6.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "additional notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the initial purchaser's exercise of their option to purchase additional notes. The sale of the additional notes settled on October 11, 2017 and the additional notes were sold on the same terms in all respects as the 5.50% convertible senior notes due 2022 previously issued on September 25, 2017 (the "base notes" and, together with the additional notes, the "notes"). Maxwell has issued a total of $46.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes.

The aggregate proceeds from the offering, net of fees and estimated offering expenses payable by Maxwell, are approximately $43.0 million (including the previously announced net proceeds of approximately $37.4 million from the sale of the base notes). Maxwell intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include research and development expenses, capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses.
