McLean, Virginia – Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE: BAH) (“Booz Allen”) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (the “Issuer”), has priced $500.0 million aggregate principal amounts of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The offering is expected to close on June 17, 2021, subject to certain closing conditions. Each of the Issuer’s existing and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer’s obligations under its senior credit facility and certain other indebtedness (the “Guarantors”) will guarantee the Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund the acquisition of Liberty IT Solutions, LLC (the “Acquisition”) and to pay related fees and expenses. The closing of the Acquisition is not contingent on the receipt of any financing, including from the sale of the Notes, and may occur prior to the closing of the offering. If the Acquisition is not consummated, the Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Notes and the guarantees are being offered and sold in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes and the guarantees will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S, each under the Securities Act.
The Notes and the guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act 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 and applicable state laws.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to sell or purchase nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
