DSG Escrow Issuer plans $700M senior notes due 2032 to help fund LKCM Headwater's $35.00/share take-private
Distribution Solutions Group, Inc.
- $700M aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2032 to be issued initially by Eclipse Acquisitions Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed entity controlled by LKCM Headwater Investments, LLC.
- Gross proceeds go into escrow pending the merger; DSG would then assume the notes and its credit-agreement obligors would become guarantors.
- Take-private terms: LKCM Headwater affiliates to acquire all DSG shares they don't already own for $35.00 per share in cash; merger needs DSG stockholder approval.
- Proceeds plus an LKCM Headwater equity contribution fund the $35.00/share purchase price, repay part of DSG's existing credit agreement debt, pay deal fees and fund general purposes.
- Notes are unregistered, offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and non-U.S. persons under Regulation S; closing conditions are not assured.
