The Company received net proceeds of approximately $121.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and fees and expenses payable by the Company. Additionally, the Company used approximately $10.3 million of cash to purchase capped calls, discussed below. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2020.

The Company accounted for the partial settlement of the 2027 Notes as an extinguishment, and as such, recorded a loss on extinguishment of approximately $80.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included in “Other income (expense), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ​ 2029 Notes ​ On May 19, 2023, the Company completed a private offering of $230.0 million of 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $223.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and fees and expenses payable by the Company. Additionally, the Company used approximately $198.8 million of net proceeds from the offering to fund the cash portion of the 2025 Notes and 2027 Notes extinguishments described above and retained the remainder for general corporate purposes. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2023. The 2029 Notes mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier purchased by the Company, redeemed, or converted. The Company will settle any conversions of the 2029 Notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted, and paying or delivering either cash, shares of the Company’s stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted. ​ The 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2029 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are unsecured obligations of Veeco and rank senior in right of payment to any of Veeco’s subordinated indebtedness; equal in right of payment to all of Veeco’s unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated; effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of Veeco’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of Veeco’s subsidiaries. The Notes are recorded as a single unit within liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as the conversion features within the Notes are not derivatives that require bifurcation and the Notes do not involve a substantial premium. Transaction costs of $9.2 million, $1.9 million, $3.1 million, and $6.8 million incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2029 Notes, respectively, were recorded as direct deductions from the related debt liabilities and recognized as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected terms of the Notes. ​ The Company may redeem for cash, at its option, all or any portion of (i) the outstanding 2025 Notes at any time on or after January 15, 2023, (ii) the outstanding 2027 Notes at any time on or after June 6, 2024 and/or (iii) the outstanding 2029 Notes at any time on or after June 8, 2026, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the applicable series of Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the redemption notice. Upon the Company’s notice of redemption, holders may elect to convert their Notes based on the conversion rates and criteria outlined below. ​ The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods as described below. The initial conversion rates are 41.6667, 71.5372, and 34.21852 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2029 Notes, respectively, representing initial effective conversion prices of $24.00, $13.98, and $29.22 per share of common stock, respectively. The conversion rates may be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. ​ Holders may convert all or any portion of their notes, in multiples of one thousand dollar principal amount, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 15, 2024 with respect to the 2025 Notes, October 1, 2026 with respect to the 2027 Notes, and February 1, 2029, with respect to the 2029 Notes, only under the following circumstances: ​
| (i) | During any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
​
| (ii) | During the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per one thousand dollar principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Veeco’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
​
| (iii) | If the Company calls any or all of applicable series of the Notes for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
​
| (iv) | Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
​ For the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2024, the last reported sales price of common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days, based on the criteria outlined in (i) above, was greater than 130% of the conversion price of the 2027 Notes, and as such the 2027 Notes are convertible by the holders and callable by the Company until March 31, 2025. ​ Holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances, on or after October 15, 2024 with respect to the 2025 Notes, October 1, 2026 with respect to the 2027 Notes, and February 1, 2029 with respect to the 2029 Notes, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the respective maturity date. ​ The carrying values of the Notes are as follows: ​

​ The Company determined the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2029 Notes are Level 2 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy and had estimated fair values at December 31, 2024 of $30.3 million, $49.5 million, and $277.4 million, respectively. ​ Capped Call Transactions ​ In connection with the offering of the 2027 Notes, on May 13, 2020, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”), pursuant to capped call confirmations, covering the total principal amount of the 2027 Notes for an aggregate premium of $10.3 million. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2027 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted 2027 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the capped price of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions exercise price is equal to the initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes, and the capped price of the Capped Call Transactions is approximately $18.46 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call confirmations. ​ The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the capped call counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes and do not change the holders’ rights under the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions is not expected to be tax-deductible as the Company did not elect to integrate the Capped Call Transactions into the 2027 Notes for tax purposes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2027 Notes to pay for the Capped Call Transactions, and the cost of the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. ​ Revolving Credit Facility ​ On December 16, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million (the “Credit Facility”), including a $15 million letter of credit sublimit. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s direct material U.S. subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to customary exceptions. The Credit Facility has a term of five years maturing on December 16, 2026. Subject to certain conditions and the receipt of commitments from the lenders, the Loan and Security Agreement allows for revolving commitments under the Credit Facility to be increased by up to $75 million. The existing lenders under the Credit Facility are entitled, but not obligated, to provide such incremental commitments. On August 2, 2024, lenders increased the Credit Facility by $75 million, and as such the total available under the revised Credit Facility is $225 million. ​ Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.50% to 1.25% or (b) a SOFR rate (with a floor of 0.00%) for the specified interest period plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%, in each case, depending on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement). The Company will pay an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% based on unused capacity under the Credit Facility and the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio. The Company may use the proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility to pay transaction fees and expenses, provide for its working capital needs and reimburse drawings under letters of credit and for other general corporate purposes. ​ The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, the provision of financial and other information to the administrative agent, notice to the administrative agent upon the occurrence of certain material events, preservation of existence, maintenance of properties and insurance, compliance with laws, including environmental laws, the provision of additional guarantees, and an affiliate transactions covenant, subject to certain exceptions. The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary negative covenants, including, among others, restrictions on the ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, refinance our existing convertible notes, grant liens or security interests on assets, make investments, acquisitions, loans, or advances, pay dividends, and sell or otherwise transfer assets. ​ The Loan and Security Agreement contains financial maintenance covenants that require the Borrower to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00, a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of not more than 4.50 to 1.00, and a Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) of not more than 2.50 to 1.00, in each case, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024. The Loan and Security Agreement also provides for a number of customary events of default, including, among others: payment defaults to the lenders; voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings; covenant defaults; material inaccuracies of representations and warranties; certain change of control events; material money judgments; and other customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of obligations and the termination of lending commitments under the Loan and Security Agreement. ​ No amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
