Dycom Industries, Inc. Announces Proposed Offering of $400 Million of Senior Notes Due 2029
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY) today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029 (the "senior notes") in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The senior notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by all of Dycom's domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior credit facility. The senior notes will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The senior notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
Dycom intends to use $66.3 million of the net proceeds of the senior notes offering for the repayment of amounts outstanding under the term loan portion of the Company's existing senior credit facility, $105.0 million for the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of the existing senior credit facility, $58.3 million for the repayment in full of its outstanding 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2021 at maturity in September 2021 and any remaining net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Concurrently with the senior notes offering, Dycom is seeking to amend its existing senior credit facility to, among other things, provide for a five year, senior credit facility, consisting of a $650.0 million revolving credit facility and a $350.0 million term loan. The consummation of the senior notes offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the amendment to the existing senior credit facility and there can be no assurance that Dycom will be able to consummate either the proposed senior notes offering or the amendment to its existing senior credit facility.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale or purchase of any of the securities described herein in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, sale or repurchase would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.
