ATLANTA — October 1, 2018 — HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HDS) today announced that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, HD Supply, Inc. (“HD Supply”), has priced $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).

The Notes are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by substantially all of HD Supply’s domestic existing and future wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

HD Supply intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with available cash and borrowings under its senior ABL facility, to redeem all of its $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) in accordance with the terms of HD Supply’s previously announced notice of conditional full redemption, and to pay related fees and expenses. The redemption date is expected to be October 11, 2018.

The Notes are being offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S, each under the Securities Act.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to sell or purchase nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2024 Notes.
