Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 12, 2014, Post Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the pricing of its previously announced offering of 6.75% senior notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) at a price of 105.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest from November 18, 2013. In addition, the size of the Notes offering was increased from $250 million to $350 million. The Notes offering is expected to close on March 19, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company also announced the pricing of its previously announced common stock offering at $55.00 per share. The size of the common stock offering was increased from 4,000,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares. The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The common stock offering is expected to close on March 18, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Notes were offered as additional notes under an existing indenture pursuant to which the Company previously issued $525 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2021 (the “Existing Notes”). The Notes to be issued in this offering will vote together with and will constitute part of the same series as the Existing Notes. The Notes will be unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
The common stock offering and the Notes offering are being conducted as separate offerings. Neither offering is contingent upon the other. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offerings for general corporate purchases, which could include, among other things, financing the pending PowerBar and Musashi acquisition and financing additional acquisition opportunities, working capital and capital expenditures.
A copy of the press release issued in connection therewith is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees were offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
