SEATTLE — March 30, 2020 — Redfin Corporation (NASDAQ: RDFN) today announced that it has reached an agreement to sell $110 million of capital stock to Durable Capital Partners LP (“Durable”). The proposed sale consists of $70 million of common stock at $15.61 per share and $40 million of convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock has an annual dividend of 5.5 percent. The preferred stock has a conversion price of $19.51 per share, is convertible at Durable’s option, and will convert automatically after three years if Redfin’s common stock closes above $27.32 for 30 consecutive trading days. Unless previously converted, the preferred stock will redeem on November 30, 2024, in cash or shares of common stock, at Durable’s election. The closing of the proposed sale is subject to customary closing conditions. Redfin’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning contains additional information regarding the terms of the convertible preferred stock and the proposed sale.

“Durable’s Henry Ellenbogen has been leading investments in Redfin since 2013, when we were a private company and the market was recovering from the great financial crisis,” said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. “In chaotic times, he understands our long-term commitments to our culture and our technology, and why those commitments position us to take share in a housing market that is being transformed by this pandemic to be more virtual, convenient and efficient. We’re proud to be his partner.”
