The Allen & Overy (“A&O”) U.S. Leveraged Finance and Capital Markets teams have advised the lead arrangers and joint book-running managers on all aspects of a dividend recapitalization (the “Dividend Recapitalization”) by SRS Distribution Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), a leading U.S. roofing and landscape supply distributor sponsored by two leading private equity companies (together, the “Company’s Sponsors”).
The Dividend Recapitalization transaction consisted of entry into a new USD2.190 billion term loan facility, an amendment to the Company’s existing USD750 million ABL Facility to extend its maturity, and a dual-tranche Rule 144A/Regulation S offering of USD650m aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior secured notes due 2028 and USD450m aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2029. The proceeds of the foregoing transactions were used to, among other things, pay a dividend to the Company’s Sponsors, refinance amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing term loan facility, repay loans outstanding under the Company’s existing ABL facility and redeem the Company’s existing 8.250% senior notes due 2026. The Dividend Recapitalization was completed on June 4, 2021.
The A&O Leveraged Finance deal team was led by New York partner Jin Hee Kim with support from senior counsel Joseph Furst and associates Dani Resnick, Mel Lee and Eric Olson.
The A&O Capital Markets deal team was led by New York partner Jeff Pellegrino with support from associates Liza Murray and Brinkley Rowe and Law Clerk Kevin Leitao.
