Chefs' Warehouse (CHEF) Announces Offering of $50 Million of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024

February 24, 2021 4:58 PM EST

The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHEF) (the “Company”) today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $50 million aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Convertible Notes issuance is a reopening of, and will be part of the same series as, the $150 million aggregate principal amount of 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Existing Notes”) issued by the Company on November 22, 2019. While the Convertible Notes will initially trade under a Rule 144A CUSIP number, once de-legended, the Convertible Notes will have the same CUSIP number and will be fully fungible with the Existing Notes.

The Convertible Notes are expected to pay interest semiannually and will be convertible at the option of holders of the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 1, 2024, unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms. Final pricing terms of the Convertible Notes will be determined by negotiations between the Company and the initial purchaser of the Convertible Notes.

The Company intends to use approximately $31.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes to repay outstanding amounts under its term loan facility and the remainder of the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions or repaying a portion of the outstanding principal amount under its asset-based loan facility.
