The company, which until recently was called MicroStrategy Inc., priced the zero-coupon convertible senior notes due in 2030 with a 35% conversion premium, according to a statement on Thursday. The premium is in reference to the volume-weighted average price of $321.05 each at which it traded over a stretch of Wednesday afternoon. It came in below the 40% to 50% range the company had marketed earlier, Bloomberg News has reported.
