BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) (the "Company," "we" or
"Wayfair") today announced that its subsidiary, Wayfair LLC (the
"Issuer"), closed its previously announced private offering of
$800 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior
secured notes due 2029 (the "Notes"). The Notes will mature on
October 31, 2029, unless earlier
repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering,
together with cash on hand, for the repayment of certain of
Wayfair's existing convertible senior notes and general corporate
purposes.
"Wayfair has demonstrated considerable cost discipline over the
past two years, and we're excited for this next step on our journey
of financial maturation," said Kate
Gulliver, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative
Officer, Wayfair. "We're on a solid path to continue deleveraging
as we strive to improve our cash flow profile and repay our
upcoming maturities over the next year."
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and
severally, on a senior secured basis by Wayfair and certain Wayfair
domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer's senior secured
revolving credit facility. The Notes and related guarantees are
secured on a first-priority basis by liens on the same assets that
secure the Issuer's senior secured revolving credit facility.
The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 of the Securities Act. The Notes were
offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified
institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release is for informational purposes only and shall
not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy
any securities. Any offer of the Notes and related guarantees was
not made to any person in any jurisdiction in which the offer,
solicitation or sale is unlawful. This press release also shall not
constitute an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to
sell, or notice of redemption with respect to any of Wayfair's
outstanding convertible notes.
