NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Presidio, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Presidio,” the “Company,” “our” or “we”), a leading North American IT solutions provider delivering Digital Infrastructure, Cloud and Security solutions to create agile, secure infrastructure platforms for its customers, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Presidio Holdings Inc. (“Presidio Holdings”), intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior secured notes due 2027 (the “Secured Notes”) and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior notes due 2028 (the “Unsecured Notes” and together with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”) in a private offering. The Secured Notes will be senior secured obligations of Presidio Holdings and will be guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The Unsecured Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Presidio Holdings and will be guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries.
As previously announced, certain investment funds advised by BC Partners Advisors, L.P. (“BC Partners”) completed the acquisition of Presidio pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $2.2 billion, including Presidio’s net debt, on December 19, 2019 (the “Merger”). In connection with the consummation of the Merger, we (i) borrowed $1,025.0 million under a new senior secured term loan B facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”), (ii) entered into a new $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, (iii) borrowed $400.0 million under a bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”) and (iv) received a contribution of approximately $855.0 million of equity from certain investment funds advised by BC Partners. The proceeds from these financing transactions were used to (i) finance the consummation of the Merger and related transactions, (ii) repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities, as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, and (iii) pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses in connection with these transactions. As of the date of this press release, the Bridge Loan Facility is fully drawn.
In order to finalize our post-Merger capital structure, we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to (i) repay in full and terminate the Bridge Loan Facility, (ii) repay approximately $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our New Term Loan Facility and (iii) pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses.
The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes and related guarantees. Any offers of the Notes and related guarantees will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
