ELKHART, Ind., Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PATK) ("Patrick" or the "Company") today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $400 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2032 (the "Notes") in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act").

The interest rate, redemption prices and other terms of the Notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering. Patrick intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all of its $300 million aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Senior Notes due 2027, repay a portion of its borrowings under its existing senior secured credit facility and pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

Concurrently with the completion of the offering, the Company plans to amend and restate the credit agreement governing its existing $925 million senior secured credit facility to establish a new $1.0 billion senior secured credit facility consisting of an $875 million revolving credit facility and a $125 million term loan. The maturity date for borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility is expected to be extended to October 2029. The new senior secured credit facility is expected to replace the Company's existing credit facility that is due to mature in August 2027, with pricing and other material provisions to be finalized following the completion of the pricing of the offering of the Notes described above.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Any offers of the Notes will be made only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes being offered have not been approved or disapproved by any regulatory authority, nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the applicable private offering memorandum.
