COLUMBIA, Mo., May 10, 2023 (Newswire.com) - EquipmentShare.com Inc. ("EquipmentShare"), one of the fastest-growing integrated equipment rental and equipment asset management companies in the United States, announced today the closing of its inaugural offering of $640 million of senior secured second lien notes due 2028 (the "Notes"), one of the largest high-yield issuances in 2023 for a first-time issuer. The company also announced its entry into an amendment to extend the maturity of, and upsize the borrowing capacity under, its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility"). The ABL Facility amendment will increase EquipmentShare's borrowing capacity under that facility from $2.1 billion to $3.0 billion.
The landmark offering of the Notes and the ABL Facility amendment are designed to optimize EquipmentShare's capital structure, allowing the company to refinance existing debt. The Notes mature on May 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed. The Notes will be secured on a second priority basis by liens on substantially all of the assets that secure any first priority lien obligations of EquipmentShare.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as the lead book running manager, Wells Fargo Securities, Capital One Securities, Citigroup, Fifth Third Securities, J.P. Morgan, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, MUFG, SMBC Nikko and Truist Securities acted as joint book-running managers and Regions Securities LLC and UBS Investment Bank acted as co-managers for the successful private offering of the Notes.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons unless pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than "U.S. persons" in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
