GMS Announces Proposed Senior Notes Offering

GYP Holdings III Corp. (the “Company”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GMS Inc. (NYSE: GMS) (“GMS”), announced today that it launched an offering to sell $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) in a private offering in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to market and other conditions.

The Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Senior Notes will be guaranteed by GYP Holdings II Corp., the Company’s direct parent company and a direct subsidiary of GMS, and the Company’s future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the Company’s senior secured term loan facility and ABL credit facility.

The net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under its senior secured term loan facility.

The Senior Notes and the related guarantees will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside the United States, to non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
