DALLAS, May 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Builders FirstSource, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLDR) (the "Company") today announced that it has priced an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "Notes"). The price to investors will be 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes.

The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Certain beneficial owners of the Company’s Existing Notes have agreed to purchase Notes in the offering.

Consummation of the offering of the Notes is subject to various closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete these transactions on the terms described above, or at all.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account of any U.S. person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements thereof. Accordingly, the Notes will be offered and sold only to (i) persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) and (ii) non-“U.S. persons” who are outside the United States (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act).

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes.
