On March 3, 2021, Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc., as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), in connection with the offer and sale of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.500% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, together with customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities. The Offering is expected to close on March 10, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with expected borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and the Amended Receivables Securitization Facility (as defined below), to fund the repurchase or repayment in full of the following outstanding debt, and to pay related fees, costs, and expenses in connection therewith: (i) outstanding borrowings under its Term B Loan (the “Term B Loan”) provided under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 27, 2017 (as amended, modified, extended, restated, replaced, or supplemented from time to time) among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions, including Citibank, N.A (“Existing Credit Agreement”) and (ii) outstanding borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility (the “Existing Revolving Credit Facility”) provided under the Existing Credit Agreement. Any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Concurrently with this offering, the Company intends to (i) enter into a new credit agreement for a new revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount anticipated to be up to $300 million and (ii) amend its existing receivables securitization facility to provide for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount anticipated to be up to $450 million (the “Amended Receivables Securitization Facility” and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the “New Credit Facilities”). The amount and other terms and conditions of the New Credit Facilities have not been finalized and are therefore subject to change.
