US Foods Announces Pricing of Private Offering of $500 Million of Senior Unsecured Notes

US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD) today announced the pricing of a private offering (the “Offering”) of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) by its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary, US Foods, Inc. (“US Foods”). The initial offering price to investors will be 100% of the principal amount thereof. The offering is expected to close on November 22, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

US Foods intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering (i) to repay a portion of its outstanding term loans that are scheduled to mature on June 27, 2023 (the “2023 Term Loans”) and (ii) to pay related fees and expenses. US Foods expects that the portion of 2023 Term Loans remaining outstanding after giving effect to use of the net proceeds of the Offering will be repaid using the net proceeds from an anticipated new term loan facility and cash on hand.

The Notes and the guarantees thereof are being offered in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes and the guarantees thereof are being offered 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 reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes and the guarantees thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No assurance can be made that the Offering will be consummated on its proposed terms or at all.
